Chegg (NYSE:CHGG) earnings for the American education company’s second quarter of 2020 have CHGG stock heading higher after markets closed on Monday. That’s thanks to its adjusted earnings per share of 37 cents coming in above Wall Street’s estimate of 32 cents. Its revenue of $153.01 million also beats out analysts’ estimate of $136.61 million.

- The Chegg earnings report also has it reporting a net income of $10.59 million.

Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg, said this during the earnings report.
“Chegg was built with a belief that learning would move increasingly online and we have always bet on that inevitability. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated that shift and it is now clear that learning tools and academic support must be available online, affordable, on-demand, tailored to the individual learner, and geared towards the skills needed in the modern workforce.”
Chegg also provides guidance for the full year of 2020 in the current earnings report. It expects revenue for the year to come in between $605 million and $615 million. That looks good next to Wall Street’s estimate of $551.05 million for the year.
