2U CEO on the challenges of edX integration six months post-acquisition - Washington Business Journal - Ana Lucía Murillo, Washington Business Review

This was the first full quarter since the edX transaction closed, and in the period from January through March, 2U’s stock lost more than half its value, dropping from $20.93 per share at the beginning of the year to $10.10 in Friday's trading. Even larger is the value the stock has lost since 2U first announced the deal with edX last summer. When the deal was announced, 2U’s stock was trading at $42.08 per share, a price nearly four times higher than today’s. As a result, its market capitalization has dropped to just shy of $800 million, down from nearly $2 billion not long ago.
