What Happened?
AppLovin (APP) stock got a vote of confidence on Wednesday. Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey reiterated his Buy rating and kept his $775 price target, the highest on the Street, citing confidence in AppLovin’s consumer advertising business.
The firm said management’s recent investor presentation reinforced that the consumer business is still in its early stages, with the biggest milestone yet to come.
That milestone is the public launch of the Axon self-serve platform, expected by the end of June.
Right now, AppLovin is a closed platform. Any advertiser who wants to run campaigns has to go through AppLovin’s team. In June, anyone will be able to sign up and start running ads directly.
That meaningfully changes the scope of the business, opening the door to a far larger pool of potential advertisers.

What the Market Is Telling Us About AppLovin Stock
AppLovin stock is down about 20% year-to-date, which looks jarring given how strong the underlying business is. But context matters. The stock surged dramatically in 2025, and the current pullback looks more like profit-taking and valuation normalization than a sign of business deterioration.
The financials are hard to argue with.
- Revenue grew at 59% over the last 12 months to $1.84 billion.
- Gross profit margins sit at 88%.
- Free cash flow for Q1 was $1.29 billion on revenue of $1.84 billion.
- The Q1 results also beat across every metric.
- Adjusted EBITDA hit $1.56 billion, a 66% year-over-year increase with an 85% margin.
- The consumer advertising vertical, which is still less than two years old, exited the quarter with April becoming a record month, larger than any single month in Q4.
The Street largely agrees with Benchmark’s bullish stance.
- Piper Sandler raised its target to $665 and kept an Overweight rating, calling it AppLovin’s largest revenue beat in about four quarters.
- Morgan Stanley maintained its Overweight rating, citing the company’s ability to improve conversion rates as a major growth lever.
- BofA maintained a Buy rating with a $705 target ahead of Axon’s public launch.
The one near-term risk is the launch itself. BofA flagged that the Axon self-serve rollout could bring short-term volatility, and there are ongoing questions about Meta’s competitive response.
But management has said they see no cannibalization between gaming and consumer advertisers, and the model keeps improving at a faster rate.
For investors watching AppLovin stock, the June platform launch is the next major test.
