Duolingo (DUOL) shares soared as much as 35% on Thursday morning after reporting Q2 results that handily topped Street estimates and raising guidance for the full year.
DUOL is being rewarded this morning also because it announced plans of acquiring NextBeat, a music gaming startup, for an undisclosed amount to broaden its app offerings.
