Business
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE: WLYB) operates as a global publisher and provider of research publishing platforms, academic and professional learning solutions, and education services, delivering scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly journals; related content and platforms in physical sciences, engineering, health sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and humanities; print and digital books in scientific, professional, and educational categories; digital courseware and assessment services for students, instructors, businesses, and professionals; test preparation materials; online program management for higher education institutions; and training, upskilling, and talent placement services for corporations, with sales to research libraries, consortia, learned societies, retailers, wholesalers, corporations, governments, and individual customers across the United States, China, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, and other international markets. Founded in 1807 and headquartered in Hoboken, New Jersey, the company employs approximately 5,200 people and generates over 85% of revenue from digital products and tech-enabled services. Recent developments include the divestiture of its Wiley University Services unit to Academic Partnerships in early 2024 for $150 million to sharpen focus on core research and learning segments; expansion of AI licensing partnerships, such as with Perplexity in 2025 contributing to $40 million in annual revenue; announcements of six new Advanced Portfolio journals in health, life, and physical sciences including AI-focused titles by end-2026; renewal of publishing partnerships like with the British Educational Research Association in 2025; launches such as Wiley Focus for corporate markets; and ongoing technology transformation to reduce costs through AI-driven tools, streamlined operations, and portfolio profitability reviews targeting FY2026 revenue growth in low to mid-single digits and adjusted EBITDA margins of 25.5% to 26.5%.
