On August 4, Duolingo, Inc. fell 7.83% in regular trading, trading at $127.435/share, with turnover of $14.825 million.
On the news front, Bank of America Securities downgraded Duolingo from Neutral to Underperform, cutting its price target from $103 to $93, implying approximately 28% downside from the current stock price. The downgrade comes at a critical juncture as the company is scheduled to report Q2 earnings after market close the following day, with consensus EPS estimates at $0.61, a notable decline from Q1's $0.89.
Market caution is amplified by prior soft guidance episodes. Following Q1 results in May, Duolingo shares plunged over 13% despite beating revenue and EPS estimates, as forward guidance disappointed investors. Multiple institutions have previously trimmed their targets, including Morgan Stanley at $95, Goldman Sachs at $105, and JPMorgan at $92, reflecting broad skepticism about near-term growth momentum.
