Negative
  • The average ticket for digital courses decreased by 1.6% compared to the same period last year, due to a more aggressive pricing strategy for hybrid formats.
  • The company faces potential regulatory risks related to distance learning, including restrictions on hybrid courses and the number of brands per hub, which could impact its strategy.
  • Despite improvements, there is still room for further reduction in SG&A expenses, particularly in personnel costs, which are expected to grow slightly higher than inflation.
  • The company is experiencing a reduction in CapEx, which could impact future growth and expansion opportunities if not managed carefully.
