How it happened

Gaotu Techedu (formerly GSX/Gaotu) was a Chinese online tutoring company that reached a ~$13B valuation in 2021. China's 2021 'double reduction' crackdown on for-profit private tutoring devastated the after-school education sector and its business model. Combined with broader post-IPO declines, its market value fell roughly 93%, leaving it a sub-$1B small-cap.
