As a growth-focused investor, I’ve been keeping a close eye on Duolingo, Inc. (NASDAQ:DUOL) since my last assessment in August. At the time, I tempered my enthusiasm, downgrading the stock from “buy” to “hold” due to concerns that OpenAI’s ChatGPT 4-o could erode the company’s market share. However, Duolingo’s recent earnings report has prompted me to reassess its prospects.
