  • Four Seasons Education (NYSE:FEDU) Shares Tumble 30% Amid Mixed Growth Signals
    January 22, 2026, 6:48 AM EST. Shares of Four Seasons Education (Cayman) Inc. (NYSE:FEDU) have plunged 30% in the past month, continuing a difficult 27% decline over the last year. Despite a seemingly attractive price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 13.5x, below the U.S. market average of roughly 20x, the company's uneven earnings growth raises concerns. After a striking 323% earnings per share increase last year, the firm showed no growth across the past three years, suggesting inconsistent performance. This lag behind the broader market's projected 16% expansion likely explains the low P/E and wary investor sentiment. The sharp stock drop reflects caution about the company's future growth prospects, signaling that its current valuation more so captures investor apprehension than undervaluation.
