Weak outlook for Duolingo

"Duolingo. See, so sensing a theme, tech stocks that start with the letter D right now. Duolingo, ticker D, down 27%, the biggest drop since they went public in the summer of 2021. The language learning software company giving a weak fourth quarter bookings forecast. Analysts saying that kind of the management focus on user growth, wanting to expand the number of users has weighed on their bookings outlook. We saw at least two analysts downgrading shares, Citizens and Key Bank. This stock down 27%. Basically, another company that when you look at how they've been pushing into and leaning into AI, not really panning out."

The speaker describes a sharp 27% decline in Duolingo's stock, citing a weak Q4 bookings forecast and analyst downgrades as key drivers. The commentary points to execution challenges in their AI initiatives and a fundamental misalignment in management focus, contributing to the negative outlook.

Duolingo Misses on Bookings Despite Strong Revenue

"Yeah, so the next one is really moving in the opposite direction. Dolingo, ticker D, down more than 20% right now. Um so the company reported fourth quarter earnings as well but bookings trailed estimates. Uh they're seeing a range of about 330 million to 335 million as analysts were estimating 344 million. Um so this is interesting as well because the revenue for the quarter was really in line with expectations and they boosted the guidance for the year because users are paying more to chat with AI bots on Duolingo. So interesting. We're just seeing the other side here of an AI play from Dolingo."

Duolingo is trading down over 20% driven primarily by missed bookings figures, despite revenue meeting expectations and an optimistic update on guidance fueled by increasing user engagement with AI chatbots. The market reaction underscores caution amid shifting estimates.
