On August 6, Adobe fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at $251.37/share, with turnover of $155 million. The decline was driven by broad-based selling pressure across the software sector following AppLovin's disappointing Q2 earnings report.
Mobile advertising giant AppLovin reported Q2 revenue of $1.92 billion, missing analyst estimates of $1.94 billion. Its Q3 revenue guidance midpoint of $2.07 billion also fell short of the $2.08 billion consensus. The company's CEO acknowledged the quarter fell below internal standards, citing slower-than-expected AI model improvements in its core gaming advertising business. AppLovin shares plunged nearly 20% intraday.
The earnings miss triggered a sector-wide selloff in software names. Oracle fell over 3%, Salesforce dropped nearly 4%, and ServiceNow declined 3%. Within the Application Software sector, Datadog fell 16.8%, Figma dropped 17.37%, and Palantir Technologies slid 2.12%.
