  "summary": "IDP Education reported a 9% year-over-year revenue decline for FY 2026, with international student recruitment and English language testing volumes weakening. Despite this, the company maintained a 60% gross margin and saw its adjusted EBIT slip only 7% to AUD 123 million. Investors reacted negatively, sending the stock down 25.12% to $1.63 from $2.17, close to its 52-week low. The company attributed the decline to policy changes, slower visa processing, and weaker student demand, particularly in Australia, the U.K., and Canada. Management highlighted that the company's profitability held up better than the revenue decline would suggest, thanks to cost cuts, price increases, and tighter working capital control. However, FY 2027 volumes are expected to be 20% to 30% lower than FY 2026, indicating another year of pressure for the company.",
