On September 3, AppLovin Corporation rose 3.88% in regular trading, trading at $328.6/share, with turnover of $93.6 million. The rally was driven by a wave of investment bank reaffirmations maintaining bullish stances on the stock.
Several major firms recently adjusted their price targets while keeping positive ratings intact. Evercore ISI lowered its target from $630 to $510 but maintained its Outperform rating, while Needham raised its target from $475 to $500 and reiterated a Buy rating. Earlier, Citigroup and Loop Capital also maintained Buy ratings with $600 targets, and Deutsche Bank kept its Buy with a $580 target. The FactSet consensus average target stands at approximately $517.
AppLovin had previously tumbled from highs after its 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 architectural model improvement was deployed early in Q3 and reiterated its long-term annual revenue growth target of over 30%, helping restore investor confidence.
