Welcome to our dedicated page for Pearson SEC filings (Ticker: PSO), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
The Pearson plc (PSO) SEC filings page aggregates the company’s regulatory disclosures as a foreign private issuer, primarily through Form 6-K current reports. These filings provide detailed information on Pearson’s capital structure, trading updates, governance changes, and transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities.
Form 6-K filings include trading updates that summarise underlying Group sales growth, segment performance across Assessment & Qualifications, Virtual Learning, Higher Education, English Language Learning, and Enterprise Learning & Skills, and commentary on adjusted operating profit, cash flow conversion, and medium-term outlook. These documents help investors understand how Pearson’s learning, assessment, and skills businesses are performing over time.
Other 6-Ks disclose voting rights and capital, stating the number of ordinary shares of 25 pence each admitted to trading and confirming that each share carries one vote. These filings also note that the company does not hold shares in treasury, information that is relevant for calculating ownership thresholds and voting power.
Pearson’s filings further include notifications of PDMR interests, detailing purchases of ordinary shares or ADRs by non-executive directors and the release and sale of shares under the company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan to cover tax liabilities. A TR-1 notification of major holdings reports when a shareholder crosses a specified voting rights threshold, outlining the percentage of voting rights attached to shares.
Through Stock Titan, users can access these Pearson filings as they are furnished to EDGAR and use AI-powered summaries to interpret the contents. AI tools can highlight key points from trading updates, explain changes in voting rights and capital, and surface notable insider transactions reported on Form 6-K.

Pearson plc (PSO) filed a Form 6-K to disclose routine director dealings dated 30 June 2025. Four non-executive directors—including Deputy Chair Graeme Pitkethly—purchased a combined 4,651 ordinary shares at £10.77 per share under the Company’s Non-Executive Directors’ Share Purchase Plan. Post-transaction, their individual holdings stand at 20,672 (Coutu), 3,879 (Dolan), 21,368 (Pitkethly) and 6,223 (Thomas) shares. The disclosure satisfies UK Market Abuse Regulation requirements and marginally increases director equity alignment; however, the volumes are immaterial relative to Pearson’s market capitalization and do not alter the firm’s financial outlook.
On 1 July 2025, Pearson plc (LSE/NYSE: PSO) filed a Form 6-K announcing its updated share capital position in line with the FCA’s Disclosure & Transparency Rule 5.6.1.
