Duolingo Inc. (NASDAQ:DUOL) stock surged 12.9% following an upgrade from KeyBanc Capital Markets to overweight, with a price target of $460.00 [1]. The upgrade reflects the analyst's positive outlook on the company's recent product improvements and viral marketing strategies, which are seen as key growth catalysts.
KeyBanc's upgrade comes amid a period of robust revenue growth for Duolingo, with the company reporting a 39.5% increase over the last twelve months. The analyst firm highlighted several potential growth drivers, including the Duolingo Energy rollout feature, upcoming September Duocon updates, and the company’s viral marketing efforts, which collectively create "upside risk to estimates over the next 12 months" [1].
In addition to the KeyBanc upgrade, Citigroup initiated coverage of Duolingo with a buy rating, further bolstering investor confidence. This move underscores the positive sentiment among analysts towards Duolingo’s performance and strategic direction.
