AppLovin A

AppLovin fell sharply after missing Q2 revenue by about 0.9% despite 52% year‑over‑year revenue growth, an 84% adjusted EBITDA margin and $863m free cash flow. The stock is down roughly 55% year‑to‑date and trades around $305.77 versus a Street consensus target near $526. UBS analyst Stephen Ju maintains a buy with a $790 target, citing AXON 2.0 monetization, expansion into e‑commerce and strong operating leverage. Management guided Q3 revenue to $2.055–2.085 billion and said the business is off to a strong start; the bull case depends on reaccelerating model improvements and continued margin stability. » More on finance.yahoo.com
