On September 4, AppLovin Corporation rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $323.13/share, with turnover of $582 million. The move came as AI application software stocks staged a broad rebound, with AppLovin among the top gainers in the sector.

On the news front, multiple investment banks have recently reaffirmed bullish stances on the stock despite adjusting price targets. Evercore ISI lowered its target to $510 from $630 while maintaining an Outperform rating; Needham raised its target to $500 from $475, keeping a Buy rating; Citigroup set a $600 target with a Buy rating; and Loop Capital maintained Buy with a $600 target. The average analyst price target stands at approximately $517, well above current levels.

AppLovin had previously sold off sharply after Q2 revenue of $1.92 billion missed the $1.94 billion consensus and a key AI model upgrade was delayed from Q2 into Q3. Management has since confirmed the model improvement was deployed early in Q3 and reiterated its long-term annual revenue growth target of over 30%. RBC Capital Markets noted the Q2 shortfall was tied to model timing rather than structural demand or competitive headwinds, supporting the gradual recovery in market sentiment.
