John Wiley & Sons topped consensus on both the top and bottom line in the first fiscal quarter of 2027, based on preliminary results reported September 3, 2026, even as revenue slipped year over year. Revenue trailed last year by ~3% to about $386 million (down from about $397 million a year ago), but it still topped expectations, with revenue of $386.4 million versus the $380.2 million estimate (+1.6%, topped). Adjusted EPS of $0.44 also came in ahead of forecasts at $0.44 versus $0.40 (+10%, topped), though it was down ~10% from $0.49 a year ago. On profitability, gross profit was about $269 million and gross margin was near 70%. Cash flow was a use of cash in the quarter, with negative operating cash flow of roughly $55 million, and the company returned cash to shareholders by paying about $18 million in dividends. For the next period, consensus calls for EPS of $1.30 on revenue of $450.8 million.

Technical Indicators

6 Buy1 Neutral1 Sell

WLY is exhibiting a constructive technical picture with price near 52.61 and broader trend characteristics supporting a bullish bias. The ADX above 25 indicates a strengthening trend, and bullish cross-timeframe moving averages place the stock well above its longer-term levels, while the MACD is positive and short-term momentum is modestly supportive. On-balance volume is lagging, which tempers the signal, and the classic pivot at 53.49 sits overhead as a near-term resistance. Overall, the indicators combine for a clear bullish tilt. Technical takeaway: Strong Buy.
