Current thesis
The constructive case is that Wiley continues to convert research franchise strength into AI/data-services revenue, margin expansion, and free-cash-flow growth, while the new Research leadership can keep execution focused [#PR-2026-03-05] [#8-K-2026-05-06]. With the stock still well below the median analyst target, the valuation can look reasonable if growth holds.
