John Wiley & Sons: Strong Absolute Valuation
While the company will be dealing with some revenue pressures in Q1, including from the high margin AI-licensing revenues, the multiples are compressed. The business has important recurring characteristics and decent leading indicators in the ex-AI businesses. We also like the company's capital allocation and return policies that could lever decent returns for shareholders from these sold-off levels.

4 Upcoming Dividend Increases
I track companies with consistent dividend growth, focusing on those with strong financial health and above-average yields versus the S&P 500. This week's highlighted stocks average a 3.1% dividend increase and a 12.5-year growth streak, but only Darden Restaurants stands out for performance. SCHD ETF remains my preferred broad dividend growth holding, outperforming most individual names except Darden over the past decade.

Despite revenue headwinds from Open Access and lumpy AI deal flow, profitability is rebounding, with margins expanding and recurring AI income gaining traction. WLY shares trade at a steep discount (10x P/E vs. 17x historical), offering a margin of safety, supported by a 3.8% dividend and strong cost controls.

John Wiley & Sons: Publisher Tries To Rise Above Book Congestion, Thanks To AI
John Wiley & Sons gets a hold rating today, as upside and downside factors considered did not make a strong buy or sell case. The firm could see growth upside from its work with AI learning models, as well as business growth in Asia and Latin America, across a diversified portfolio that includes learning. A weak net income margin, poor cashflow growth, and unremarkable dividend growth could be a challenge.
