AppLovin closed at US$391.22 on Friday after rising in every session of the week, a cumulative gain of 71.2%. It started the week at its 52-week low of US$228.50, set on 30 October.

**The September quarter did most of the work.** Revenue reached US$2.185 billion, up 55% on a year earlier. Net income was US$1.439 billion, up 72%, a margin of 66%, and diluted earnings came in at US$4.30 a share against the US$4.04 analysts expected.

The forecast did the rest. AppLovin guided December-quarter revenue to between US$2.365 billion and US$2.395 billion, against the US$2.25 billion analysts had pencilled in. The company sells the software that picks which advert appears inside a mobile game, and takes a cut of what the advertiser pays.

The value fell from 227.7 at the end of 2025 to 129.6 on 6 November.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/02/71/0271df32-cec6-421f-9f13-b06ab90e54c1/content/images/2026/11/applovin-rose-71-five-sessions-during-2026-11-09-chart.jpg)

This story’s chart of the day.

The share price had been taken apart all year. AppLovin is down from a 52-week high of US$733.60, and has fallen nearly 60% in 2026 across two earnings-day drops of close to 20%, short-seller allegations it denies, and securities fraud suits.

The open question 

Friday's close still leaves AppLovin 46.7% below its 52-week high, so a 71% week has repaired about half of one bad year. I'd want to see a second quarter like this one before calling the argument over the numbers settled.
