Reached its target in 19 days.
The thesis — published August 30, 2025
Investors are very positive on AppLovin and the stock has shown steady strength. The trend looks powerful, so rather than chasing sharp up days, it's wiser to wait for small pullbacks. This week a major bank lifted its price target to 575, and Zacks kept a Strong Buy, citing earnings per share growth near 98%. Better ad monetization supports dip buys for a potential 3 month continuation.
Primary drivers
- Very strong, persistent price trend suggests strength can continue near term.
- Earnings per share rising quickly, and analysts raised their price targets.
- AI helps ads work better, lifting ad returns and supporting company revenue.
- Prefer buying after small pullbacks instead of chasing big run-ups.
