Pearson narrowed its 2026 operating profit guidance to £650 million–£675 million from £640 million–£685 million, retaining the midpoint.
Full-year sales growth remains projected at mid-single digits, supported by 5% growth over nine months.
Third-quarter sales rose 6%; fourth-quarter growth is expected to slow amid tougher assessment comparatives and test-delivery timing.
Cash conversion guidance remains 90%–100%, excluding approximately £200 million for two acquisitions.
A fourth-quarter return to growth for Pearson Test of English is more uncertain as market conditions remain challenging.

During intraday trading on Tuesday, Microsoft's market capitalization briefly surpassed Nvidia, making it the world's second largest publicly traded company by market value. However, after Anthropic released its office suite, Microsoft's losses widened, causing it to fall behind Nvidia once again.
