Chegg shares tumbled after the online education company said ChatGPT is hurting growth.

The company, which provides homework assistance and online tutoring, said revenue would be between $175 million to $178 million this quarter, far below the analyst consensus estimate from FactSet of $193.6 million.

Chegg shares were last down 46% to $9.50 in premarket trading Wednesday, set to add to a 30% decline already this year.
