Duolingo (ISIN US26603R1068) CEO Luis von Ahn sold 46,682 shares on September 24, 2026 under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, MarketBeat reported on September 28, 2026. The same report identified 24 analysts with a consensus Hold rating and an average target of USD 124.38.

CEO sale reaches 46,682 shares

The transaction was valued at USD 7.03 million and reduced von Ahn's position by 50.00 percent, according to MarketBeat on September 28, 2026. The filing described the sale as part of a plan adopted before the transaction, a detail that separates the disclosure from an open-market decision announced at the time of sale.

Duolingo's Nasdaq listing and ticker DUOL were identified in the same MarketBeat coverage. The company operates a digital language-learning platform and also offers the Duolingo English Test, according to its Duolingo investor-relations page.

Revenue grows in second quarter

For the second quarter of 2026, revenue reached USD 298.45 million, up 18.30 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share came to USD 0.66 versus USD 0.60 expected, while net income was USD 33.16 million, according to MarketBeat on September 16, 2026.

The comparison is mixed: revenue exceeded the prior-year period, but earnings per share declined from USD 0.91 in the comparable period. That combination helps explain why analysts kept a Hold consensus despite the revenue increase.

Market value remains below yearly high

Duolingo had a market capitalization of USD 6.9 billion and a 52-week range of USD 87.89 to USD 353.00 as of October 5, 2026. The range places the company well below its yearly high, while the 24-analyst consensus target of USD 124.38 provides a separate valuation reference.

The latest reported operating figures therefore point to continued top-line expansion, while insider selling and the analyst consensus add caution to the stock narrative. Duolingo's next market focus is the balance between user growth, earnings delivery and valuation.
