Asset 1


Gaotu Techedu Inc. (NYSE: GOTU)




Background:


China's Gaotu is a technology-driven education firm that offers large-class online tutoring services.

Gaotu uses an online live large-class format to conduct its courses because the company thinks it's the most efficient and scalable way to get China's aspirant students access to scarce, high-quality teaching materials.


The company uses big data analytics, which makes it possible to apply the newest technologies to enhance teaching methods, student learning outcomes, and operational effectiveness.


Summary:


Gaotu Techedu finally caught a second wind in December, when the Chinese government repealed its zero-COVID policy and began to reopen its economy. However, China is pulling the rug out from under investors again -- and announcing new regulations on education companies.


Shares of several Chinese companies including Gaotu that trade on U.S. Exchanges jumped after U.S. and Chinese financial regulators announced a preliminary agreement on a long-standing auditing dispute between the two countries.


Additionally, Gaotu reported first-quarter earnings earlier last week that showed how much it benefited from the events mentioned previously. While its revenue had previously taken a hit, the company has now returned to profitability.
