AppLovin's stock has fallen 55.6% over the past year, against a 17.3% gain for the S&P 500. Investors are now counting on its push to sell web ads to online sellers, not just place ads in mobile games. The company has yet to show that e-commerce sellers will spend heavily on a platform best known for games. Management says many of them do not know AppLovin, and most still spend far more with other ad platforms. Second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 52.8% year on year, down from 77.0% a year earlier. AppLovin guided third-quarter revenue to $2.06 billion to $2.09 billion, about 47% above the $1.41 billion of the same quarter in 2025. The next report, expected around November 4, 2026, may show how much revenue comes from web ads.

NEW YORK-(BUSINESS WIRE)-$APP #ClassActionLawsuit-Kirby McInerney LLP reminds AppLovin Corporation ("AppLovin" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APP) investors of the November 16, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a pending federal securities class action. Investors are encouraged to contact Lauren Molinaro of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at [email protected], or fill out the contact form below to discuss your rights or interests in the securities fraud class action lawsuit at no cost. What Is The Lawsuit About? The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of February 12, 2026 through August 5, 2026, inclusive ("the Class Period"). The lawsuit alleges that AppLovin made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) the generative AI video creative feature for the Company's AppLovin Ads platform was subject to significant development delays, making its release on the Company's timeline unlikely; (ii) Defendants overstated the constancy with which AppLovin was improving its AI models; and (iii) for these reasons, among others, AppLovin had significantly overstated the benefits and reliability of the purportedly "virtuous cycle" and "compounding" value proposition that its AI models provided to customers. On July 13, 2026, Bank of America Securities published a note reporting softer-than-expected e-commerce ad growth for AppLovin for the month of June. Bank of America Securities stated, "AppLovin's eCommerce footprint expanded at a slower pace in June," and data "suggested a muted GA start." Bank of America Securities lowered its expectations of AppLovin's annual revenue, "assuming a slower initial GA ramp." On this news, the price of AppLovin's shares declined by $61.13 per share, or approximately 12.65%, from $506.98 to close at $442.85 per share on July 13, 2026. On August 5, 2026, AppLovin reported its second quarter 2026 financial results, reporting revenue of $1.92 billion, below consensus estimates of $1.94 billion. The Company attributed their revenue performance to model performance, asserting that "our pace of meaningful model improvement was lighter than normal during the quarter." AppLovin also revealed that its generative AI video tool was "still [a] work in progress" and had not yet been rolled out. On this news, the price of AppLovin's shares declined by $82.13 per share, or approximately 19.66%, from $417.80 to close at $335.67 per share on August 6, 2026. What Should I Do?
