Guidance

Duolingo’s shares fell 27% after releasing weaker-than-expected guidance, signaling a focus on user growth over immediate revenue. While Q1 revenue surged 41% to $272M, exceeding estimates, bookings guidance for the next quarter disappointed. Despite a rise in paid subscribers to 11.5 million, daily and monthly active user numbers missed expectations. The company is leveraging AI for new features and courses but the market reacted negatively to the profitability outlook amid increased investment in long-term user acquisition.
