Duolingo

Analysts' average price target of $127.07 implies about 13% downside for Duolingo amid management's strategy to sacrifice near-term monetization to grow users. The company is pushing AI features like Video Call and integrating more speaking exercises to boost engagement while targeting 100 million daily active users by 2028. Despite potential short-term earnings pressure, Duolingo trades at a relatively low valuation (trailing P/S 6.3, P/E ~17) and the author remains bullish on longer-term upside. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com

Duolingo said that at an investor meeting a preliminary estimate of the daily active users (DAU) growth rate of 27.4% year‑over‑year for August 17, 2026 was accidentally shown on a screen. The company stressed these are internal, not-yet-validated figures and should not be treated as a forecast for Q3 2026. Duolingo pointed to strong operating metrics: revenue up 29% to $1.15 billion, gross margin of 73%, Q2 DAU growth of 23% and adjusted EBITDA of $77.3 million. Analyst reactions ranged from price-target increases and buy ratings to a more cautious view due to the Q3 revenue outlook. » Altro su de.investing.com

DA Davidson raises its rating for Duolingo from “neutral” to “buy” and sets a price target of $160. Analyst Wyatt Swanson cites underestimated potential from product development, marketing adjustments and improved monetization as the reason for the upgrade. He expects rising daily active users (DAU) and bookings to begin tracking user growth, putting Duolingo at an inflection point. The stock responded with an increase of around 7%. » Altro su de.investing.com
