2All of the company's key financial metrics for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, came in ahead of expectations.
Duolingo raised its full-year 2026 sales guidance to $1.221 billion, surpassing analyst estimates of $1.208 billion. In a statement released via GlobeNewswire, the company reported GAAP earnings per share of $0.54 for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, which missed market expectations despite a 29% year-over-year acceleration in daily active users.
