Why is AppLovin Dropping Today?

AppLovin Corp. (NASDAQ: APP) shares have decreased amid a mix of short-seller scrutiny and legal uncertainties, even as analysts highlight the company’s strong growth fundamentals and maintain bullish price targets.

  • Analysts at Morgan Stanley and other firms have upgraded APP and raised price targets, noting robust fundamentals and the likelihood of eventual S&P 500 inclusion despite a recent snub.
  • A Zacks report outlines three key reasons growth investors will favor AppLovin, pointing to above-average revenue and profit expansion that could drive outperformance.
  • Zacks also names AppLovin as a founder-run, safe long-term play, praising its visionary leadership and strategic positioning in the AI-driven adtech market.
  • Wall Street brokerages remain largely bullish on APP, with most analysts recommending buy or overweight positions.
  • Broader market volatility persists, but the Federal Reserve is expected to hold rates steady next week, which may offer relief for growth-oriented tech names.
  • Shares have been under pressure following a scathing short report from Culper Research and other vociferous short sellers, triggering intraday sell-offs.
  • AppLovin is also facing a pending class-action lawsuit, which—alongside aggressive short-seller claims—has contributed to recent share price declines.

Investors weighing AppLovin should balance its strong growth outlook and analyst support against the near-term headwinds from litigation and short-seller activity.
