The company sells $917.9M a year; the problem isn’t sales — it’s costs running above that number.
There is $511.2M in the vault; even if every debt were paid off, $423.7M would remain.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 12 buys and 8 sells. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $48.3M against $917.9M in annual sales.

On our five-subject report card, GOTU sits behind the class. A low grade doesn’t mean “doomed” — it means “big claim, small proof.”
The takeaway: GOTU has solid sales but closed last year at a loss. The road back to profit runs through spending discipline.
The total grade weighs these five subjects against the sector — it isn’t a simple average of the five.
Analysts’ average target sits above today’s price, yet the valuation grade (37/100) says the stock isn’t cheap.
