New Oriental posts strong 2026 results, guides 14–18% 2027 growth, signals buyback

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Strong Q4 and FY2026 results, higher-margin trajectory, and explicit FY2027 growth guidance, plus a buyback and dividend plan, collectively support upside risk-reward. Historical precedent shows robust earnings and share repurchases often lift price, while China regulatory risk remains a macro overhang.
