AppLovin's stock fell 3% after Wells Fargo challenged the recent spike in Pixel installs, a key metric for tracking the company's e-commerce progress. Wells Fargo found that while raw Pixel installs increased, most new sites had little web traffic, suggesting no real growth in merchant activity. This skepticism led to a view that AppLovin's e-commerce growth may not accelerate until next year. The stock has already dropped 58% this year, making it sensitive to such data, while related ad-tech stocks showed little change. Investors will watch for future Pixel data weighted by web traffic to gauge real merchant traction.
