Applovin Ceo Urges Investors To 'Dig Deeper' After Short-Seller Report, Company Retains Alex Spiro

Thomas Fuller | SOPA Images | Lightrocket | Getty ImagesAppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi hit back at new short-selling allegations from Muddy Waters Research after the ad-tech company's stock suffered its steepest drop on record on Thursday.Foroughi penned a new blog post that asked investors to "dig deeper" on the allegations, saying the report's claims about the success of their AI-powered ad tactics could be easily disproven by artificial intelligence models like Grok "in minutes."Muddy Waters on Thursday became the third short-selling firm to publish research meant to raise significant investor skepticism about the company's technology, after AppLovin's stock price soared more than 700% last year. The report said AppLovin's ad tactics "systematically" violate app stores' terms of service by "impermissibly extracting proprietary IDs from Meta, Snap, TikTok, Reddit, Google, and others." Foroughi wrote in his response that, "Our business is technical, and we get it — it's not always easy to understand.""It's also incredibly hard for some who don't understand this technology to fathom that we are building the world's best advertising AI model, so they need a simple narrative that we're violating policies in order to comprehend our success," Foroughi wrote. "This complexity leaves room for short reports to stir fear and doubt."AppLovin shares rose almost 4% on Friday after tumbling 20% a day earlier.Prior to Muddy Waters' report, Fuzzy Panda Research and Culper Research published short-seller research critiquing AppLovin's technology as the company pushes into e-commerce.AppLovin said on Friday that it retained Alex Spiro from law firm Quinn Emanuel to do "an independent review and investigation into recent short report activity targeting the Company." A spokesperson told CNBC that Spiro, who also represents Elon Musk, was hired to "investigate the short sellers as these tactics of spreading misinformation for personal gain cannot be allowed to continue unchecked." Analysts at Loop Capital reiterated their buy rating on AppLovin and $650 price target in a note on Friday."We think accusations of faulty conversions and fraud are easily disproved by speaking with performance marketers and measurement companies," they wrote. "We have been very active on this front and are confident the platform is delivering excellent performance and driving meaningful revenue momentum."Muddy Waters Research did not yet provide additional comment.WATCH: AppLovin shares drop on Muddy Waters short

Are You Going To Risc-V Con 2025?

by Max MaxfieldI’m thinking of a RISC-V IP vendor. One that has a 30% market share of the global RISC-V IP market. One whose RISC-V IP cores are to be found in more than 16 billion system-on-chip (SoC) devices. Are you thinking who I’m thinking?No, not them, silly! I’m talking about Andes Technology. Since Andes was founded in Taiwan (it’s a public company on the Taiwanese stock exchange), it’s less well known in North America than some of the other guys.Having said this, I also think it’s fair to note that Andes is known by those who don the undergarments of authority and stride the corridors of power—the folks who demand the highest-performance and most configurable RISV-V processor cores available on the market—not least that around 30% of the company’s revenues come from the US.Personally, I don’t think it will be long before Andes is at the forefront of everyone’s minds when the conversation turns to matters of a RISC-V nature. In fact, I flatter myself that after perusing and pondering this column, if you ever find yourself chatting with someone who says something like, I’m thinking of a RISC-V IP vendor
