On October 2, AppLovin Corporation fell 3.31% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $272.0 per share, with turnover of $10.70 million, extending its recent downtrend.
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. The claim period covers February 12 through August 5, and the ongoing litigation risk continues to suppress market sentiment.
Meanwhile, growth deceleration concerns have intensified. Edgewater Research previously warned that the company's core mobile advertising business may be approaching a \"functional ceiling\" in market share expansion, projecting Q4 sequential revenue growth of only approximately 8% to 9%. Since September, Morgan Stanley, Evercore ISI, Loop Capital, and other institutions have successively lowered their price targets. BofA Securities downgraded the stock to neutral, citing insufficient evidence supporting the company's 30% long-term annual revenue growth target and cutting its 2027 revenue growth forecast to 23% from 31%.
