Duolingo (DUOL) has seen a notable rebound, with its stock rising 25% since March, following a significant decline from its 2025 peak. The company, known for its digital language education platform, is shifting its focus toward user growth, which has led to a slowdown in revenue growth—27% year-over-year for Q1 2026, down from 38% a year earlier. Despite concerns about AI potentially disrupting its model, Duolingo is leveraging technology to enhance user engagement, exemplified by its new AI-powered Video Call feature, which has already doubled user interaction.
This strategic pivot could ultimately strengthen Duolingo’s market position, with management projecting an increase in daily active users from 56.5 million to 100 million within two years. While this approach may temporarily dampen revenue, it opens avenues for future monetization, particularly as the user base expands.
With a price-to-sales ratio of just 5—well below its historical average—Duolingo appears undervalued, suggesting potential for further upside as the company transitions back to monetization strategies post-2028.
