Description: APP Applovin December 17, 2025
AppLovin Corp. (NASDAQ: APP) operates a software platform that helps advertisers acquire and monetize mobile and connected-TV audiences worldwide. Its business is split between an Advertising segment-offering solutions such as AppDiscovery, the MAX in-app bidding engine, the Adjust analytics suite, and the Wurl CTV distribution network-and an Apps segment that runs free-to-play games developed in-house or with partners.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) include ≈ $2.2 billion in total revenue, a 30 % year-over-year increase driven largely by growth in the MAX bidding product, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 22 %. The Adjust platform now tracks over 1 billion monthly active devices, underscoring its data-network effect.
The mobile advertising market remains a primary sector driver, with global mobile ad spend projected to grow at a 12 % CAGR through 2027. A parallel shift toward connected-TV (CTV) inventory-accelerated by cord-cutting and higher CPMs on CTV-offers AppLovin a diversification lever via its Wurl and AppLovin Exchange offerings.
For a deeper quantitative view, the ValueRay analysis of APP provides additional context on valuation and risk factors.
