Reached its target in 14 days.
The thesis — published August 27, 2025
AppLovin is riding a strong uptrend, and small pullbacks may be chances to buy. On 2025-08-27 it was named a top affordable growth pick for both expansion and profits, and the 2025-08-25 index exclusion did not change the story. Recent buying strength and a rising recent average price suggest the trend can continue. Buying $455-$470 aims to benefit as AI ad tech spending and profits build soon.
Primary drivers
- Named a top affordable growth pick on 2025-08-27 for strong expansion
- Recent buying signals and rising recent average price back the uptrend
- AI-powered ad tools are helping the business make more money
- Not added to the S&P 500, creating brief dips that buyers have used
