Q2 revenue reached USD 298.45 million

The latest reported quarter gives the stock a measurable operating anchor. According to MarketBeat, Duolingo generated USD 298.45 million in Q2 2026 revenue, 18.3 percent above the same quarter of 2025. The quarter also produced EPS of USD 0.66, exceeding the USD 0.60 consensus by USD 0.06.

The comparison is mixed beneath the revenue headline. Q2 2025 EPS was USD 0.91, so the latest quarterly EPS was USD 0.25 lower even as revenue expanded by 18.3 percent, a gap that makes profitability and user monetization central to the next report.
