Duolingo, Inc. DUOL is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 6, after the bell.

The company has a strong history of earnings surprises. Earnings have surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, with an average earnings surprise of 22.8%.

Q2 Performance Expectations From DUOL

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DUOL’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter stands at 55 cents per share, indicating a 7.8% year-over-year improvement. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $240.5 million, indicating a 35% increase from the year-ago reported figure.

We expect that an increase in Subscription revenues will mainly drive year-over-year improvement in the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter. The consensus estimate for Subscription revenues is pegged at $203.6 million, indicating 41.5% year-over-year growth.

The top line is likely to have reaped the benefits of the increase in daily and monthly average users and the surge in the number of subscribers.
