Why GitLab Stock Jumped Nearly 4% Higher on Thursday

One analyst tracking the company got a preview of its new software suite. He was particularly impressed with its integration with artificial intelligence (AI) functionalities. 10 stocks we like better than GitLab › A new analyst note was the wind under the wings of GitLab (NASDAQ: GTLB) stock on Thursday. Shares of the software development and cybersecurity solutions provider ticked almost 4% higher on the day as a result. This rise was several orders of magnitude better than the S&P 500 index's sub-1% increase. The person behind the fresh analysis was William Blair's Jason Ader. In his newest GitLab note, Ader reiterated his confident outperform (read: buy) recommendation on the company's shares. According to reports, the analyst's update was something of a reaction to GitLab's latest software package release. Ader wrote that the company held a virtual launch of its GitLab 18, a suite he said features more than 30 improvements to functionalities of earlier products. The pundit went into some detail about GitLab 18, writing that a notable feature of the new software is its Duo Agent Platform. This allows the product's users to harness artificial intelligence (AI) agents across all aspects of the software development life cycle. These agents can assist with many tasks, including coding -- typically a time-consuming and laborious activity. While analyst buy recommendations frequently inspire investors to either hold or purchase a stock, I suspect this recommendation on its own isn't what drove GitLab's surge on Thursday. Rather, it's Ader's considerable dive into the AI aspect of GitLab 18. Investors are still very hungry to buy into this white-hot and rapidly developing technology, and GitLab is clearly embracing it strongly. Before you buy stock in GitLab, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and GitLab wasn't one of them.

Why Duolingo Stock Plummeted This Week

New data shows Duolingo's daily active user growth continues to decelerate. Trading at an already lofty valuation, the company saw its share price plummet. However, Duolingo's long-term investment thesis is intact, and its growth optionality remains abundant. 10 stocks we like better than Duolingo › Shares of the world's largest education app, Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL), were down 14% this week as of 2:30 p.m. ET Thursday, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The main reason for this decline came from a Jefferies analyst highlighting that Duolingo's daily active user (DAU) growth slowed to 37% in June. Analysts expected 44% growth in DAUs for the company's second quarter, but the data shows it'll be closer to 39%, prompting the adverse reaction from the market. While 30 days' worth of disappointing DAU data isn't bad in and of itself, it extends a worrying trend. Over the last five months, the company's DAU growth declined from 56% in February to 53% in March, 41% in April, 40% in May, and finally 37% in June. This deceleration is far from a death knell for Duolingo's stock. But the market may be justified in lowering the company's valuation until it sees improving data. Even after this drop, the company trades at 106 times free cash flow, including stock-based compensation. However, following this decline, I may find myself buying more Duolingo shares soon, thanks to its promising growth optionality. Far from just a language learning app, Duolingo has multiple potential growth outlets, like: Adding to its courses, as it has already done with ABCs for children, math, music, and now chess. Building upon its standardized test offerings, such as its Duolingo English Test (roughly 10% of sales). Growing the advertising revenue from its non-subscriber tier (around 6% of sales). Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its offerings, such as its video chat with Lily. Though its days of 50% hypergrowth may be in the past, Duolingo's longer-term growth story is still in its early chapters. Before you buy stock in Duolingo, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Duolingo wasn't one of them.
