Expectations

Wall Street Expectations

Overall, expectations for AppLovin are mixed as the company has consistently beaten EPS estimates, but the stock reaction has been volatile.

Bull Case

If AppLovin continues its trend of beating EPS estimates and shows strong revenue growth, it could lead to a positive market reaction and increased investor confidence.

Bear Case

On the other hand, if the company fails to meet expectations or provides weak guidance, it could lead to a significant drop in stock price, especially given the recent volatility.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the reported EPS and how does it compare to previous quarters?

Given the company's history of beating EPS estimates, the actual EPS will be critical in determining market sentiment.

What insights can management provide on user engagement and revenue growth?

Understanding user engagement metrics will be essential for assessing future revenue potential and overall business health.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate AppLovin's ability to leverage new technologies for user engagement, which could drive higher-than-expected revenue growth.

Supporting Evidence

The company has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational performance.

Options pricing suggests a significant move, reflecting uncertainty that may not align with the company's growth potential.

Key Risk

If user engagement metrics show significant improvement, it could lead to a reevaluation of growth forecasts.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating whether AppLovin can maintain its growth trajectory amidst increasing competition and changing consumer behavior.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $3.70 or higher with strong revenue growth would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $3.40 or weak guidance on user engagement would confirm the bear case.
