Why TAL Education Group Stock Is Falling
Aug 20, 2024 4:31 PM

TAL Education Group ( TAL ) shares closed Tuesday down 5.30% at $8.58. Shares of U.S.-listed Chinese companies are trading lower after China’s central bank left its one-year and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.35% and 3.85%, respectively.

Why This Matters: The decision by China’s central bank to leave the one-year and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.35% and 3.85%, respectively, is significant. This move indicates a conservative approach to monetary policy, suggesting that the Chinese government may not be aggressively stimulating the economy despite a fragile recovery.

For companies like TAL Education ( TAL ), this can be problematic as it signals limited access to cheaper financing, which is crucial for growth, especially in a challenging economic environment.

The unchanged interest rates suggest that the Chinese government might not be providing enough stimulus to drive a significant economic recovery. This is concerning for companies across various sectors, including education, which rely on a robust economy to support consumer spending on services like tutoring and education programs.

How To Buy TAL Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share — or fractional share — of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in TAL Education’s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

According to data from Benzinga Pro, TAL has a 52-week high of $15.52 and a 52-week low of $6.24.
