Duolingo: Love The Business, Don't Love The Valuation
Summary Duolingo is the largest global language learning platform, with 116m monthly active users and 9.5m paid subscribers. In 2024, Duolingo grew revenues by 41% and reported 26% adjusted EBITDA margins. Duolingo continues to increase its total addressable market by expanding internationally, launching new verticals (e.g., maths, music, chess), and launching premium AI-enabled language learning tiers. Duolingo trades on a rich multiple of 17x forward revenue and 66x forward earnings. While Duolingo is a high-quality business, the current valuation does not present an attractive risk reward, so I rate Duolingo a hold. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Apr 10
Duolingo: Still A Bargain At 35x FCF? I Think So
Summary I love that Duolingo is growing fast and throwing off meaningful free cash flow—those two don’t often go together. The fact that they have no debt and nearly a billion in cash gives me confidence, especially in a shaky macro environment. I’m bullish because they’re not just coasting—they’re innovating with AI, expanding into new subjects, and upselling premium plans. Valuation wise, 35x forward FCF feels entirely fair to me for a business compounding at over 30% annually with rising margins. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
