Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 10% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 21, 2025
AppLovin looks like a fast-growing company and is in a recent recommended buying range that many analysts agree with. Price trends and buying patterns support continued gains, and volume isn't extreme, which lowers crash risk. Main danger is big swings at this high price, so buy gradually on small dips.
Primary drivers
- Media coverage of buy zone increases buying interest
- Positive price trend supports further gains
- Seen as a leader that funds may favor
- Using pullbacks to limit risk at high prices
