On January 18, 2017, Pearson revealed that its initial projections about its U.S. educational business had been too high and students are balking at paying top-dollar for textbooks when more affordable alternatives to outright purchases are available. The result has been an excess of unsold books. Pearson also noted that a dividend cut should be expected in 2017.
