DUOL’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the four trailing quarters, the average surprise being 92.1%.
Our proven model doesn’t conclusively predict an earnings beat for DUOL this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
We expect that an increase in the Subscription revenues will 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 $153.9 million, indicating 45.3% 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. Daily and monthly active users are expected to increase 55.9% and 22.5% year over year, respectively. Paid subscribers are anticipated to grow 45.5% year over year.
DUOL is Rallying
The stock has gained 28% year to date, underperforming the industry's 32.7% rally but outperforming the 20.5% rise in the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
This starkly contrasts its closest competitors, Coursera (COUR - Free Report) and Chegg (CHGG - Free Report) , which have seen declines of 64% and 85.3%, respectively, over the same period.
