Chegg10-Q: Recurring revenue shift

Chegg pivots to "Skilling" as core Academic Services revenue collapses by 57% ($59.6M)

What happened

Chegg is undergoing a major strategic transformation, de-emphasizing its legacy Academic Services business which saw a $59.6M (57%) revenue drop due to reduced traffic and subscribers. The company is now focused on the "large and growing skilling market," creating needs for B2B sales/marketing platforms, corporate learning solutions, and tools to manage a difficult business model transition.
