What the filing says
Robert Knowling, an independent board member with 30+ years in technology and education, becomes CEO effective July 29, 2026, replacing James Rhyu (who led for 5 years). Steven Fink appointed Board Chair; Brian Shepherd added to Board. FY2026 preliminary results: revenue $2,518.1M (+$112.8M or +4.7% YoY), operating income $450.8M (+$90.7M or +25.2%), adjusted EBITDA $617.6M (+$46.6M or +8.2%); net income $338.2M (+$50.3M or +17.5%).
Why this rating
CEO succession is material governance event + solid FY2026 growth (+4.7% revenue, +25% op income) modestly positive. Against $2.9B market cap, $2.52B revenue is ~87% of annual size; growth is real but mid-single-digit. Knowling's 8-year board tenure reduces transition risk. Not transformational—ordinary succession with good financials.
