Stock Track | Duolingo Plunges 10.66% in post-market as Soft Q3 Revenue Outlook Overshadows Q2 Beat

Stock Track08:06

Duolingo, Inc. (DUOL) shares tumbled 10.66% in post-market trading on Wednesday, wiping out gains after the language-learning platform forecast third-quarter revenue below Wall Street expectations, tempering optimism from a strong second-quarter performance.

The company reported Q2 revenue of $298.5 million, beating analysts' estimates of $295.6 million, while adjusted earnings per share of $0.66 topped the $0.60 consensus. Daily active users grew 23% year-over-year to 58.7 million, surpassing Visible Alpha estimates. However, Duolingo projected Q3 revenue of approximately $302 million, below the $304 million consensus, and forecast Q3 bookings of $307 million, also missing the $309.5 million estimate.

The cautious guidance signals that Duolingo is prioritizing user growth over near-term monetization, as management noted it is enabling teams to focus on driving DAU rather than immediate revenue conversion. While the company reaffirmed its full-year revenue outlook, the softer-than-expected Q3 forecast triggered a sharp sell-off in extended trading.
