Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Duolingo, Inc. following a significant drop in its stock price. Duolingo shares tumbled as much as 22% after the company announced on February 27 that its strategy to accelerate user growth and engagement, particularly through increased investment in artificial intelligence, would result in slower earnings growth and narrower profit margins in the short term. CEO Luis von Ahn communicated this outlook to shareholders, stating that the company aims to double its daily active users to 100 million by 2028, even if it means sacrificing some monetization in the interim. The company's first-quarter adjusted Ebitda forecast of $73.6 million also trailed analyst estimates of $84 million, contributing to investor concerns and prompting the legal investigation.
