0904 GMT - Pearson has been resilient in uncertain times, but the company needs a strong second half to meet 2025 consensus, Barclays analysts Nick Dempsey and Aytaj Khalilli write in a note. The education company has guided to muted organic revenue growth for the group in the first quarter and low-single-digit growth for the first half-year, the analysts says. However, the London-listed group needs a strong second-half organic revenue growth to match full-year 2025 consensus, they add. "Exposure to U.S. government decisions and full-year organic growth targets this year that require a strong second half both present some risks," the U.K. bank says. Shares are down 3.2% at 1,136 pence. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
