The Leverage Shares 2X Long DUOL Daily ETF rose nearly 66% on Wednesday, making it the biggest gainer among U.S.-listed ETFs. Duolingo shares climbed about 33% after the company reported quarterly results and raised its full-year revenue outlook.
Why it matters
The rally followed stronger user engagement, as Duolingo daily active user growth accelerated to 29% year over year from 23% the prior quarter, even though adjusted earnings per share narrowly missed estimates.
