Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Consumer Staples is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar broken — Revenue grows at least 4% in fiscal 2027: FY27 revenue guidance +1.0% to +3.0% vs 4% target.
View ThesisMiddle-of-the-pack quality for its industry.
View QualityManagement screens weak on capital allocation, earnings delivery.
View ManagementExpectations look reasonable — what the market is pricing in sits in line with or below what analysts forecast.
View ValuationThis stock is volatile — it swings about 2% on a typical day and fell roughly 49% in its worst 12-month stretch.
View RiskMcGraw Hill's growth in AI-enabled learning tools must continue to justify its price. Revenue guidance for fiscal 2027 is only expected to grow 1% to 3%, below the 4% target. The last quarter showed a revenue increase of 2.6%, indicating some positive momentum. The stock trades at 5.2× P/E versus a peer median of 16.3×, suggesting it looks cheap. However, expectations appear modest compared to our view. The primary risk is the potential for a guidance cut, with an 18% probability of missing expectations next quarter. Peer multiples imply a price about 36% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
