After appointing a new CEO, Visionary Education Technology Holdings Group Inc. (NASDAQ: VEDU) stock climbed more than 10% before settling again.

VEDU Fundamentals
New CEO, New Direction?
Earlier in June, VEDU announced the appointment of its new CEO, Ms. Fan Zhou, who has over 20 years of experience in international vocational education in Canada and China. After the announcement, VEDU stock rose almost 12%, which shows investors’ confidence in the new CEO.
The change in VEDU’s CEO could signal a new direction for the company as it could lean more into AI-powered educational platforms, especially after acquiring Shanghai Jinhuiercheng Technology – a Chinese-based AI-powered educational platform.
In this way, VEDU stock could be considered one of the promising AI stocks given the substantial potential of AI in education. It is probable that for this reason, investors are starting to take notice of VEDU – with the stock climbing to the top of StockTwits’ watchers list.
Targeting New Customers
Furthermore, VEDU is collaborating with high-profile institutions in an attempt to target new segments in the education field. Earlier this year, VEDU entered into a collaboration with the John Hughes Institute to expand MTM College’s curriculum with new majors in visual effects, virtual production, and visual communication.
VEDU also expressed interest in establishing an Olympic high school and had a fruitful meeting with the Chairman of the IOA. If VEDU is successful in establishing its Olympic International High School, which would be Canada’s first Olympic high school, the company could gain a lot of traction from aspiring Canadian Olympic athletes.
Considering the company’s AI capabilities, VEDU could be on track to offer a unique educational product that may allow it to substantially grow its revenues in the future. As more investors are taking notice of the company and its potential, VEDU stock could be poised to run this week – making it one to watch closely.
