Wiley reported fiscal Q1 2027 results for its Class A shares on September 3, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.44, ahead of the $0.40 estimate by 10.00%. Revenue was $386.4 million against a $380.2 million consensus. Compared with Q1 2026, EPS fell about 10% from $0.49 and revenue fell about 3% from $396.8 million.
Wiley's fiscal year ends in April, and Q4 is usually its strongest quarter. Annual EPS was $3.86 in fiscal 2023, dipped to $2.80 in 2024, then rose to $3.65 in 2025 and $4.23 in 2026. Q4 2026 set the EPS high in the table at $1.67. Revenue moved the other way: annual revenue fell from $2.02 billion in fiscal 2023 to $1.68 billion in both 2025 and 2026. Q1 2027 revenue was the lowest quarter in the table. Wiley beat the EPS estimate in 17 of the last 20 quarters, and in every quarter since Q2 2025.
Wiley reported fiscal Q2 between December 4 and December 7 in each of the past five years. That points to early December 2026 for the next report. It will show whether revenue steadies after the year-over-year decline in Q1 and whether EPS keeps topping estimates.
