I lower my rating for Gaotu Techedu Inc. from 'Buy' to 'Hold' after analyzing its results and outlook. GOTU's 1Q2026 performance was mixed as evidenced by the sales beat and a below-consensus bottom-line. The company's Q2 revenue guidance implies growth acceleration, but falls short of the sell-side's estimate; a desire to remain profitable will cap near-term topline expansion, justifying a Neutral stance.
