One look at Duolingo's (NASDAQ: DUOL) valuation would send any self-respecting value investor running for the exits. The language-learning specialist's shares trade at nosebleed-inducing ratios such as 18 times sales, 64 times free cash flow, and (keep the smelling salts handy!) 692 times earnings.
Yet, I see a great investment in Duolingo. Those scary valuation ratios are not necessarily deal-breakers, if you're willing to analyze the company's growth prospects on a deeper level.
Duolingo works toward a simple yet ambitious goal. "Our mission is to develop the best education in the world and make it universally available," the company says in every earnings report.
