What these concentrations mean together

updated 2026-10-18

Wiley's disclosed concentrations center on one segment and are largely structural. Research revenue accounted for approximately 67% of consolidated revenue in the year ended April 30, 2026, a high-share exposure: the company's results depend heavily on the academic and scientific publishing market, including its subscription and open-access dynamics. Two medium-share exposures sit around it. Approximately 49% of consolidated revenue was from outside the US, which is structural and adds currency and regional-funding sensitivity. The third is a dependency with a named type of counterparty: approximately 46% of Journal Subscriptions revenue is derived from publication rights owned by professional societies and other publishing partners. Because that figure is measured against Journal Subscriptions revenue rather than total revenue, it describes a narrower pool than the other two. Netting them, the segment concentration is the structural backbone, while the partner dependency is the more idiosyncratic risk, since renewals or terms changes with societies would hit a core revenue stream directly. The international mix is a background condition. The partner relationships are the exposure most likely to move the verdict.

Concentration counts reflect items disclosed in each peer’s most recent 10-K; disclosed-size classification uses TrendMatrix’s internal 10-K extraction taxonomy.

Concentration disclosures are extracted verbatim from SEC 10-K filings; the disclosed-size classification and the synthesis above are engine-derived. Size reflects how large each exposure is against fixed share thresholds (HIGH >50%, MEDIUM 25–50%, LOW <25% or an explicit diversification statement), not a judgment of how dangerous it is, and is not a buy/sell rating, a price target, or a view on the stock.
