Leonteq buys 9,583 Duolingo shares

Leonteq Securities AG disclosed a new stake in Duolingo in a Form 13F filing reported on May 22, according to a MarketBeat summary. The filing showed Leonteq held 9,583 shares of Duolingo at the end of the fourth quarter, with a reported value of about $1.682 million. MarketBeat said the position was new and tied it to the firm’s most recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Daily Political separately republished the same filing summary. ### What exactly did Leonteq report? MarketBeat reported that Leonteq Securities AG “bought a new position” in Duolingo during the fourth quarter and listed the holding at 9,583 shares worth approximately $1,682,000. The report did not include a transaction-by-transaction purchase history, and Form 13F filings generally show quarter-end holdings rather than the dates and prices of each trade within the quarter. (marketbeat.com) The fourth quarter in this case covered the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, based on the timing of the filing cycle and the quarter-end date shown in third-party ownership trackers that index 13F disclosures. A separate ownership page tracking Leonteq’s reported Duolingo position also listed 9.6 thousand shares for the Dec. 31, 2025 reporting period. ### Does the filing show what Leonteq paid? (marketbeat.com) The reported value was about $1.682 million as of the end of the quarter, not necessarily Leonteq’s purchase cost. Form 13F reports list the fair market value of a manager’s holdings at quarter end, which means the filing does not by itself establish the exact price Leonteq paid for the shares. (stockzoa.com) Using the reported quarter-end value and share count implies a value of roughly $175.50 per share at filing, but that is an inference from the disclosed totals rather than a stated acquisition price. MarketBeat’s article did not specify whether the position was built in one purchase or multiple trades during the quarter. (marketbeat.com) ### Which Duolingo stock does a 13F filing usually refer to? Duolingo’s SEC filings identify its Nasdaq-listed security as Class A common stock under the ticker DUOL. That matters because 13F reports typically identify the publicly traded class held by institutional managers, and Duolingo’s annual report names Class A common stock as the registered class traded on Nasdaq. (marketbeat.com) The MarketBeat summary referred to “shares of Duolingo, Inc. (NASDAQ:DUOL)” and did not mention Class B shares. On that basis, the reported holding aligns with Duolingo’s publicly traded Class A stock, though the MarketBeat item itself did not spell that out. ### Is this part of a broader wave of Duolingo 13F updates? (sec.gov) MarketBeat published multiple Duolingo ownership items this week based on fourth-quarter institutional filings. Those included reports on Investment House LLC and Fideuram Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking S.P.A., each describing changes in Duolingo holdings drawn from recent 13F disclosures. (marketbeat.com) MarketBeat’s institutional ownership page for Duolingo also lists a running tally of 13F-based buyers and sellers and showed institutional ownership above 90% as of its latest update. That page compiles filings from multiple managers rather than describing a single transaction. ### What should readers look for next? Leonteq’s next portfolio update will come through a later SEC ownership filing if the firm still meets 13F reporting thresholds and changes its Duolingo position in a subsequent quarter. (marketbeat.com) Duolingo’s own SEC filings remain the place to confirm the company’s listed share class and any future corporate disclosures tied to ticker DUOL. (sec.gov) (marketbeat.com)
