Duolingo’s stock slid after the company unexpectedly announced a change in its chief financial officer, a move that caught investors off guard even though the outgoing CFO will stay on to support the transition. The news overshadowed otherwise upbeat preliminary fourth-quarter numbers, including about 30% year-over-year growth in daily active users and bookings coming in at or above guidance, plus ongoing expansion of its course offerings. While these trends led some analysts to highlight the stock’s long-term upside, others pointed to weaker third-party usage data and cut their DAU forecasts, arguing for more caution. Management reiterated that it plans to keep investing heavily in the product and prioritize user growth over near-term profits, adding to the split in market sentiment between strong fundamentals and short-term pressure on the share price.
