Scholastic Corporation stock (ISIN US8024931009) fell after the company reported quarterly EPS of USD 2.19 on revenue of USD 476.1 million for the quarter ended July 23, 2026, while analysts had expected USD 2.16 EPS and USD 517.06 million in revenue.

Revenue trails estimates

According to MarketBeat, Scholastic shares fell 5.1 percent to USD 36.35, with intraday trading as low as USD 36.48 and volume 62 percent below the average session. The same source puts market capitalization at USD 682.54 million and a consensus target price of USD 42.00 as of September 4, 2026.

The most recent quarter ended with revenue of USD 476.1 million, so the next update will test whether the company can narrow the gap to the USD 517.06 million consensus line.
