Duolingo Shares Reach Peak Performance Due to Impressive Q1 Performance
Empowering Education: Duolingo's Swelling User Base
Hold onto your keyboards, language enthusiasts! Duolingo, the language learning powerhouse, saw its shares ascend to an all-time high on Friday, after nailing its Q1 targets. 1
The education platform reported earnings per share of $0.72 and a mind-blowing year-over-year revenue jump of 38% to $230.7 million, spanking the Visible Alpha consensus estimates. 1
Duolingo's Q1 success came with a surge in paid subscribers, boasting a 40% increase to 10.3 million and a near-50% jump in daily active users (DAUs) to 46.6 million. 1 These numbers smashed expectations for both metrics. 1
On top of that, Duolingo bumped up its full-year revenue projections to a mouthwatering range of $987 million to $996 million, up from a stodgy previous range of $962.5 million to $978.5 million. 2
With shares surging 19%, Duolingo stocks set a fresh intraday record of $480 during the trading session. 3
Duolingo: The DAU Dynamo According to JPMorgan
One analyst with JPMorgan wasn't satisfied with hitting just one home run—they upped their game, maintaining their "overweight" rating, and upping their price target to a whopping $500 from $360. Their reasoning? Duolingo's DAUs still have ample room for growth. 3
The analysts pointed to a broader adoption of English courses and non-language-focused material such as their upcoming chess course (expected to debut in the coming weeks) as growth drivers for Duolingo. 3
Additionally, Duolingo's ambitious project of more than doubling their language library with 148 new language courses, fueled by the power of AI, is expected to "support strong user & paid subscriber growth." 4
