For all you haters out there, Pearson stock was up 8.5% today and over 10% for the week. I love weeks like this to pad my net worth. Although you can never please all employees, the great majority of us love working here, which really is a great company with very competitive pay and spectacular benefits. I can’t wait to see what are very bright future holds and don’t let those internal haters get to you.

Another great day to be a stockholder and share in all our success with the stock price shooting up almost another 4% today. For all our fellow employees who take advantage of the ESPP, they are becoming very wealthy and good for them.
Anyone else notice how our stock is shooting up once again and about to breach its 52 week high? It is still a great time to buy more stock if you want to make a lot of money.
This might be my favorite post on the entire page. The stock price today is worth less than the stock price when originally posted. The original poster is a clown and fits in well at Pearson.
The stock surged another 1.27% today. It’s like a broken record how much this stock’s price increases each day. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are looking at a stock split soon.
Up another 3.5% today! That lambo is just around the corner baby.
As long as you know how to place stop orders, trade in good health.
Just keep in mind how many Pearson people participated in the employee stock purchase plan in the past, and almost all those shares are still worth less than their discounted purchase price.
Wow, what another great day with the stock up over another 6% today. Y’all should have listened to that comment about riding the wave.
Lol at the baby trader on here trying to get folks to pump the stock.
Check out HMHC dude. Much bigger swings if you want to really take a swing at earning that lambo.
What wave? LOL the price was $7.99 when you posted this and it’s currently at $6.44. That doesn’t sound like it’s “on fire” or a wave I want to ride.
Bam! While nobody paying much attention, the stock price is up another 4% today! You should try to ride the wave if you can.
The only reason it’s up is cause ppl have to virtually learn has nothing to do with Pearson employees. Pearson still a sh– company by far.
The Pearson disciple who started this thread wasn't an Econ, Finance or History major in college or they'd realize a week doesn't make a retirement portfolio successful. As of 9/10/20, the stock is well below its 12 month average. If you look at the stock chart it's a steeper down curve than Jackson Hole. You are losing money to INFLATION. I'm truly glad you are happy there but don't make the mistake of drinking out of the same creek you.....never mind.
When you posted this, the stock was at $7.99 and today it’s at $6.75. That is losing more than 15% of our value in 35 days. So how is that twisting the numbers and how do you not see this as a steady and constant free fall? Please help us see different and how you read stock and data.
You can twist the numbers however you like but our stock was up another more than 2.5% today which is especially impressive considering the overall market was down.
KW, since your main post about this POS PSO stock, it has gone DOWN more than 15%.
To my intellectually challenged friend with the post directly below, a daily gain (or loss) in a stock is measured in the closing price of the day before, not the price at open. It is painfully obvious this person was made redundant and we now know why as that person clearly did not have the wherewithal to work for an amazing progressive company like Pearson.
Also, for all you wondering, our stock is up another 1% today!
Looky here, our stock is up another 4% today thanks to our very dedicated and talented employees. The stock is like a freight train that can’t be stopped. For those who don’t own Pearson stock, you should jump on the train before it’s too late. Unfortunately the dozen or so disenfranchised employees are the outspoken ones on here but I would bet 99.9% of the employees take pride in their work and love working for this great company.
When we were discussing these comments in our team meeting, our manager said their director told them that KW is the only person in recruitment that is given stock. We agreed that this sounds like him too.
Apparently this person isn’t aware of the downgrade today (https://www.google.com/amp/s/finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/pearson-funding-four-plc-moodys-200408215.html). Pearson’s stock is going to sink badly tomorrow and eventually go all the way down with the sinking ship it is.
Well, we’ll, Pearson stock is up another 3.5% today. I don’t understand why fellow employees are upset with the huge gain in stock and market value of our great company. My guess is they are probably envious and jealous because they didn’t get on the train. I’ll tell you what though, there’s still time as the stock could at least triple in the next couple of months.
You all are so right, Pearson is a sinking ship! I’d would rather take my amazing and cutting edge call-until-blocked strategy to real industry leaders like WzU or CHP. Seems like the old UOP playbook also included quite a few chapters on how to be an all-star homophobe. So impressive!
Hahahahahahahaha....pad your income?! HILARIOUS! The stock was once worth $22/share. Now around $7, that is more than a 66% drop!!! Do you know what that equates to in BILLIONS of dollars in losses?
Could you be a bigger dope?!
Congrats on making $23 this week...
Congratulations choad. I bought $50K of Apple in Mid March and it has doubled.
There is over $1 trillion of extra value that could be released in the United States and Britain alone by companies that embrace the breakup regime. More than 50 percent of the largest companies on both sides of the Atlantic should be actively considering breaking themselves up. The reason that breakup is such a powerful idea is simple and for senior managers of large companies like Pearson, disturbing. The central management of most large companies destroys more value than it creates. If I were in charge, I would break Pearson up as soon as possible, especially while the shares are still worth the price of a foot long subway sandwich ! When the new regime is done with that place those shares will be worth the price of a box of used tampons!
I wish it were true, but let's not fool ourselves. Have you not seen the 5 year gradual collapse of more than 60% with the predictions of what's to come? Do you not know how stock works with Pearson? One step up and three steps down? Look at the analyst experts from today, estimating another decline of almost 17% just in the next year with a recommendation to sell.

I heard that the reason our stock price is going as fast as it is, is because private equity is buying up shares so they can control the board and then look to create value by breaking apart the company and selling a off the pieces. Essentially saying the parts are greater than the whole. Has anyone else also heard this?
Ok Kevin or Jess we know one of you halfwits wrote that! Keep padding that 98k salary you are so undeserving of. Pearson’s stock will be in the toilet come 2021 and we all know ASU will be canceling that contract! Even Smitty won’t be able to save you dumbfucks!
