If you're seeking the best annual returns in the world, you need to take strategic risks. There is no other way; right perception and fearlessness lead to alpha. I consider AppLovin Corporation stock as likely to deliver a 30-40% two-year compound annual growth rate in a bull case. The risks related to regulatory concerns are minimal in reality. If you can look past this, APP is a an elite-growth stock at a reasonable price.
APP surges 46.5% as its pivot into CTV, web and e-commerce ads positions it for omnichannel growth and market expansion.
APP, INTU, MNDY, CRDO and GFI are five growth stocks that have surged in the past three months and look poised to extend gains in July.
AppLovin's elite 80%+ gross margin level should not be underestimated because it provides the company with enormous room to reinvest in R&D and marketing. AppLovin demonstrates much stronger revenue growth and wider profitability metrics than its closest peers. My DCF model suggests a fair share price of $434.
AppLovin Corporation APP has soared 47% over the past three months, outpacing the industry's 38% rally and leaving major players like Alphabet GOOGL and Meta Platforms META behind, with gains of 22% and 39%, respectively.
APP and DUOL leverage AI-driven platforms to fuel rapid revenue growth and offer strong short-term price upside potential.
AppLovin's AI-driven ad platform has strong long-term growth drivers, with management guiding for a minimum of high-teens annual revenue growth. An outcome-focused revenue model positions APP well to consistently keep increasing gross margins. And there are powerful operating leverage benefits to drive EBIT margin expansion to 70% in 3 years. I really don't like how management is divesting their apps/gaming business at throwaway valuations. This decision seems hurried, which could signal risk of poor moves in future M&As.
APP's 34X forward P/E may look steep, but strong margins and AXON's ad spend scale help justify the premium.
After hitting an all-time high of $525.15 in February, AppLovin Corp.'s (NASDAQ: APP) share price tumbled more than 35% due to a pending class action lawsuit and to short seller reports.
AppLovin's 2024 revenue surged 43% to $4.71 billion, with net income jumping 343% to $1.58 billion. Advertising revenue reached $3.22 billion in 2024, up 75% year-over-year, contributing 90% of EBITDA with a 76% margin. Free cash flow doubled to $2.07 billion, representing 44% of revenue, while adjusted EBITDA hit $2.72 billion with 58% margin.
AppLovin's AI-driven AXON platform delivers superior ad targeting and monetization, creating a sustainable competitive advantage in mobile advertising, especially gaming. The company's transition to a software platform model, with high-margin recurring revenue, drives profitability and customer stickiness through integrated MAX and AppDiscovery tools. APP stock is undervalued, offering a potential 43.4% upside, as strong revenue growth, operational efficiency, and attractive valuation metrics outpace sector peers.
