Wall Street Expectations

Overall, expectations are mixed ahead of the earnings report, with some investors optimistic about continued growth while others express caution due to market volatility.

Bull Case

The bullish perspective hinges on the belief that AppLovin will continue to outperform earnings estimates, driven by strong user engagement and effective monetization strategies.

Bear Case

Conversely, the bearish view is concerned about rising competition in the app space and potential increases in user acquisition costs, which could pressure margins.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will the EPS be this quarter, and how does it compare to previous quarters?

Given the company's history of beating EPS estimates, this figure will be crucial for investor sentiment and stock performance.

What are the projected user acquisition costs for the upcoming quarter?

This metric will significantly influence profitability and growth potential, especially in a competitive landscape.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating the potential for AppLovin to leverage its existing user base for higher monetization rates, despite rising competition.

Supporting Evidence

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

Options pricing suggests a higher expected move than historical averages, indicating potential for surprises.

Recent insider activity shows confidence in the company's future prospects.

Key Risk

If user acquisition costs come in lower than expected, it could significantly enhance profitability.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The core debate this quarter revolves around whether AppLovin can sustain its growth trajectory amid increasing competition and market pressures.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $3.70 or higher would confirm strong profitability and growth prospects.

Bear Confirmed If
