Applovin reported second-quarter earnings with revenue of $1.92 billion, slightly below the $1.94 billion expected by analysts, causing its shares to fall 18% in premarket trading. While earnings per share met expectations at $3.76, CEO Adam Foroughi attributed the revenue miss to slower-than-expected improvements in its AI-powered advertising models. The company still achieved a 53% year-over-year revenue increase, but the timing of model enhancements delayed stronger performance until after the quarter ended. Following the report, Piper Sandler downgraded Applovin's stock to neutral and cut its price target, reflecting uncertainty about future growth momentum.
