DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cambium Learning Group, the education essentials company, today announced it has been named to the GSV 150 list for the sixth consecutive year. This milestone recognition is awarded to the world’s most transformational growth companies in digital learning and workforce skills.

Using a proprietary rubric—including revenue scale, revenue growth, user reach, geographic diversification, and margin profile—GSV evaluated more than 3,000 global companies to determine the 2026 GSV 150.

Collectively, the 150 companies surpass $50 billion in annual revenue, reach over 3 billion learners, and continue to strengthen profitability, with two-thirds now cash flow positive and collective EBITDA up 14% year-over-year.
