  • Duolingo (DUOL) Valuation Under Scrutiny After Recent Decline and Mixed P/E, DCF Signals
    January 21, 2026, 6:15 PM EST. Duolingo's (DUOL) shares have fallen roughly 52% over three months despite a 74% positive three-year return. Currently priced at $148.58, the stock trades at a P/E ratio of 17.8x, below peers' 28.3x but above the Consumer Services sector average of 16.9x, indicating mixed investor sentiment. Its discounted cash flow (DCF) model suggests a much higher intrinsic value of $456.95, pointing to potential undervaluation. However, risks include a recent 18% decline in net income and possible shifts in sector valuation multiples. Investors face a dilemma between the P/E-based overvaluation and DCF-based undervaluation signals while deciding on Duolingo's outlook amid weakening share momentum.
