On October 2, AppLovin Corporation fell 4.05% in regular trading, trading at $273.0/share, with turnover of $240 million, extending its recent downward trajectory.
On the news front, multiple law firms have formally filed securities class action lawsuits against the company, alleging that AppLovin made materially false or misleading statements regarding the sustainability of its AI model improvements and the development progress of its generative AI video creative tools, with the claim period covering February 12 through August 5. The litigation overhang continues to suppress market sentiment.
Adding to the pressure, Edgewater Research recently warned that AppLovin's core mobile advertising business market share expansion is approaching a \"functional ceiling,\" projecting Q4 sequential revenue growth of only about 8% to 9%. Since September, Morgan Stanley cut its price target to $450 from $650, Evercore ISI lowered to $510 from $630, and Loop Capital reduced to $600 from $860. BofA Securities downgraded the stock to neutral, arguing the company's 30% long-term annual revenue growth target lacks sufficient evidence and cutting its 2027 revenue growth forecast to 23% from 31%.
