Foolish take
Caledonia (Private) Investments' purchase of Coursera is an interesting one for investors to monitor.
First, the investment is a significant bet against the notion that artificial intelligence (AI) will disrupt the online learning industry. With Coursera's sales growth rate slowing from 30% annually over the last five years to a 10% increase in its latest quarter, questions remain as to whether AI will hinder, or perhaps help the stock over the long haul.
Second, Caledonia purchased shares of Coursera while the stock traded near its 52-week high. With the stock now down roughly 30% from this purchase price, the stock could be attractively priced today.
From a Foolish perspective, there is a lot to like about the business, and it could become a promising value stock.
That said, due to the massive AI overhang, hefty stock-based compensation weighing on profits, and decelerating sales growth, I'd rather watch from the sidelines on this one.
However, with a partnership in place with Anthropic and being integrated with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Coursera won't be blindsided by the AI revolution -- and could stand to benefit from it.
Ultimately, the company represents a classic high-risk, high-reward investment that makes perfect sense for a large institutional investor like Caledonia to buy.
