Chegg has dramatically reduced its operating costs, cutting R&D by 69%, Sales & Marketing by 59%, and G&A by 51%. This aggressive cost-cutting, stemming from multiple prior-year restructuring actions, indicates a focus on efficiency and profitability over growth in its legacy business.
Filing excerpt
Operating expenses decreased $57.5 million, or 60%, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower employee-related expenses as a result of prior year restructuring actions.
