1029 | Dolphin Research Key Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1. On October 28th, Eastern US time, the Federal Reserve began its two-day FOMC meeting, with the latest interest rate decision to be announced on the afternoon of the 29th local time (early morning of the 30th Beijing time). The market generally expects a 25 basis point rate cut, with the focus on whether the balance sheet reduction will end and the policy signals for December. Due to the government shutdown, the absence of key data such as employment, and significant internal disagreements on inflation risks and the pace of easing, some officials are concerned that a rate cut may exacerbate price pressures. 2. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced: As agreed by both China and the US...

Financial Analysis

$New Oriental EDU &amp; Tech(EDU.US) released its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 before the U.S. stock market opened on October 28, Beijing time. This corresponds to the operating conditions during the peak summer season from June 2025 to August 2025 in the calendar year. A month before the earnings report, the company had already hinted at three marginal positives: 1) shareholder returns might increase; 2) the deterioration in the study abroad business was not as severe as the market expected, leading to a revenue growth rate of 5%, slightly exceeding the guidance (growth rate of 2-5%); 3) competition faced by K9 in some cities has eased, and growth is expected to pick up starting next quarter...

Guidance stabilized, returns maximized, can the faith in New Oriental be restored?

New Oriental FY1Q26 Quick Interpretation: Overall, the third-quarter report is basically in line with expectations, including the revenue guidance for the fourth quarter. The guidance for the full year 2026 remains unchanged (revenue growth of 5%-10%), but the trends in various segments show mixed performance: 1. The two main positives in this financial report (shareholder returns, study abroad business) were already disclosed a month earlier at the preview meeting, reflected in the 20% increase during this period. (1) Shareholder Returns: The &#34;dividend floor&#34; valuation that Dolphin Research has consistently mentioned has finally exceeded expectations. Last quarter, the company announced a new shareholder return plan to use 50% of the previous year's net profit for dividends or buybacks. In Q3, the company announced a plan for $190 million in dividends and $300 million in buybacks over the next year, totaling $490 million in shareholder returns. The payout ratio reached 130% of the net profit attributable to the parent company for 2025, far exceeding the minimum baseline of 50%. Based on the market capitalization of nearly $8 billion on the day of the preview, the return rate reached 6% (currently 5%), which is indeed a good investment return in a rate-cutting cycle. (2) Study Abroad Business: Due to geopolitical risks, study abroad is a business with cautious consensus expectations in the market, originally expected to decline by 5-10%. However, revenue in USD terms actually grew by 1-2% (1% for training, 2% for consulting). Even excluding the tailwind from USD depreciation, it shows a basically stable slight decline, which is much better than Dolphin Research's actual perception. However, the hidden concerns about studying abroad have not dissipated. The resilience in the third quarter may be due to the substitution effect from non-US regions. But this often exists in the short term, and in the medium to long term, it is still closely related to geopolitical situations, with no substantial turnaround currently. Therefore, it is especially important to pay attention to the management's quantitative guidance on operations during the conference call. 2. New business performed poorly this quarter: Year-on-year growth was only 15%, compared to over 30% last quarter. According to institutional research, intensified competition from local institutions in some cities has had a short-term impact. However, judging from the trend in the number of enrollments in non-academic courses and the number of learning device subscriptions (accelerating growth), the current performance should be temporary, and growth is expected to recover next quarter. For specific details and outlook, please refer to the conference call. 3. Continued strict control of costs and expenses: Core operating profit for the third quarter was $311 million, with an operating profit margin of 20.4%, flat year-on-year. From a Non-GAAP perspective excluding stock-based compensation, the profit margin improved by 1 point year-on-year. The company stated that it will continue to control costs to ensure profitability.
