The thesis — published August 31, 2025
AppLovin is one of the strongest names right now. The price trend is steady and rising, and there are clear signs that more buyers than usual are stepping in. Fresh analyst support helps, with Scotiabank targeting $575 and Zacks calling it a Strong Buy. With solid ad-tech demand and smarter ad results from its machine learning tools, buying near $470-$480 for a 1-3 month hold looks reasonable, while staying mindful of swings.
Primary drivers
- Scotiabank raised its price target to $575, adding confidence to the story.
- Ad business is improving as apps earn more from ads using APP's tools.
- Uptrend continues, with more buying interest showing up than usual.
- Investor mood is strong, and research models were upgraded recently.
