What happened
Reached 31% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 15, 2025
AppLovin is a volatile but promising software stock. A recent analyst upgrade and higher price target highlight AI-led ad improvements and potential for better profit margins. Because the market has been weak, buy on price dips instead of chasing highs, and trim if selling intensifies. Recent buying strength supports holding through normal pullbacks.
Primary drivers
- Analyst upgrade and higher price target highlight AI ad gains
- Recent buying strength favors buying on pullbacks, not chasing highs
- Moving beyond gaming brings more advertisers and varied revenue
- AI-driven swings can cause sharp drops; manage risk and position size
