Chegg stock confronts a 50.7 percent revenue decline

Chegg stock stood at USD 0.73 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, down 1.02 percent from the prior close. The move follows a second quarter in which revenue fell 50.7 percent year over year to USD 51.85 million, while the company continued its shift toward employability and workforce skilling.
Revenue falls despite estimate beat
Chegg's Q2 2026 revenue was lower than the USD 105.2 million reported in the comparable quarter, according to the Globe and Mail. The USD 51.8 million result nevertheless exceeded the USD 49.8 million consensus estimate by USD 2.0 million, or 4.0 percent.
The operating picture remains difficult. Chegg reported a GAAP operating loss of USD 3.18 million and a consolidated net loss of USD 2.95 million for Q2 2026, equivalent to diluted EPS of negative USD 0.03. The adjusted loss per share was USD 0.02 versus a consensus loss of USD 0.05, based on the same Q2 report.
Debt repayment changes the balance sheet
Chegg repaid the remaining USD 33.9 million principal amount of its 0 percent convertible senior notes on September 1, 2026. The Business Wire release said the notes were fully retired, and Chegg became debt free. As of June 30, 2026, the company held USD 72 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments before the repayment.
That balance-sheet change gives Chegg greater financial flexibility, but it does not offset the scale of the revenue contraction. In Q2, adjusted EBITDA was USD 9.1 million, equal to a 17 percent margin, while operating cash flow was USD 10.06 million.
Stock remains below one dollar
Chegg's market capitalization was USD 81.2 million on September 24, 2026. The USD 0.73 share price sits USD 0.94 below the 52-week high of USD 1.67 and USD 0.28 above the 52-week low of USD 0.45, a wide range that reflects the market's uncertainty over the transition.
The company trades under ticker CHGG on the NYSE, as identified in its SEC filing. For investors, the key tension is clear: cash generation and debt reduction provide support, while the 50.7 percent annual revenue decline keeps the turnaround dependent on renewed user and subscription growth.
