Pearson sees growth accelerating in the second-half

Fri, 01st Aug 2025 07:05

LONDON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - British education company Pearson said it expected growth to step up in the second half after it reported a 2% rise in both underlying sales and adjusted operating profit for the six months to end-June on Friday.

"We are making rapid progress with bringing AI-powered products to market and are scaling and enhancing our enterprise business with a range of new partnerships and deals," Chief Executive Omar Abbosh said.

The company had expected low single-digit underlying sales growth in the first half. (Reporting by Paul Sandle; editing by Sarah Young)
