This summary was created by AI, based on 13 opinions in the last 12 months.

AppLovin Corporation has undergone significant challenges recently, becoming one of the S&P's worst performers due to concerns over competition from AI technologies and other rivals like Google. The stock price has suffered, trading below its falling 200-day moving average and reflecting market apprehension despite showing strong fundamentals, such as an impressive earnings growth rate and revenues that beat estimates. Recent upgrades have led to a brief uptick in stock activity, yet fears surrounding high valuations and potential disruptions from AI continue to loom large, particularly after a notable decline earlier in the year. The stock has shown some bullish momentum recently, but the overall sentiment remains cautious, with a notable increase in social media mentions indicating potential investor interest. Analysts expect a mixed report, which could determine the stock's future trajectory as it navigates through a competitive landscape.

DON'T BUY

Is a broken momentum stock, down 50% this year and near the 52-week low. Don't buy. Let it stabilize and recover first.

WATCH

One of the S&P's worst performers in August. It's another victim of the fear of an AI takeover, which he doesn't agree with. 

DON'T BUY

Provides AI solutions in the advertising and marketing space. Stock's had a tough time over the past year due to concerns over being disrupted by AI agents, and that overhang remains. Price is below a falling 200-day MA. Technically, tough name to own. 

Fundamental metrics look interesting. Earnings growth rate of 30%, ~17x forward PE. But the chart keeps him away.

COMMENT

Is up 11% today on an upgrade. It's an example of nothing news-driven to act as a catalyst in the software space, just an upgrade.

DON'T BUY

Is -41% in Q1 and one of the worst performers on the S&P. Has impressive growth and profits, but shares started the year selling at 45x PE, expensive, and investors fear that AI will displace them. 

BUY

Great fundamentals, but the stock has been beaten up.

TOP PICK

In the last quarter, the company reported 3.24 USD per share, beating the 2.95 USD estimate by 9.89%. Revenue for the same period reached 1.66 B USD, despite the estimate of 1.61 B USD. For the next quarter, analysts expect 3.13 USD in earnings per share and 1.70 B USD in revenue. Social media mentions are up 746% in the past 24h.

WAIT

Their extreme valuation has compressed so much. Will see strength in ads, gaming and e-commerce. The street's earnings estimate is very high, so Cadence has to beat that. Can free cash flow come in above $3 billion? Are in an uncertain environment. That need a super report to restore bullish sentiment.

DON'T BUY

A darling last year, but no more, because Google is now competing with them.  It reports on Wednesday. 

DON'T BUY
One of the worst performers in January

Down 30% last month. Was hammered last Friday when Google announced a competing app. The sell-off was overdone. It was trading at 42x PE and now at 32x. Don't compete against Google.

DON'T BUY

It has great momentum, but trades at one of the highest PEs in the market.

BUY

Up 108% last year, though weakened in recent months. Trades at 43x PE. Has great growth and is very profitable. They have no competitors. Revenue tripled over the last 4 years while revenue climbed from nothing to $9.37 EPS. Growth will continue, maybe accelerate at 37% revenue growth and 56% earnings growth.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

The stock is down 4% today.  There was a lawsuit filed relating to the big decline earlier this year, but we would not consider this to be of any significance.  The stock has had a huge run, up 133% in six months.  We would view the dip as a correction.  Risks and volatility exists here, but we would be willing to buy today.

BUY

Rallied 105% in Q3 alone, but is relatively unknown. Short seller have been hammered. Is bullish. One of the best performers of Q3.

HOLD

12-month price target of $620. Analysts are having a hard time keeping up with price targets, because everything is dramatically changing with AI every day -- new relationships, new innovations. This one is about global advertising app monetization. $190B market cap right now.
