Raymond James issued a new Strong Buy rating on AppLovin, highlighting the company's push into e-commerce advertising and its AI-driven ad platform. The stock has fallen 18.65% over the past 30 days but remains up 25.32% over 90 days.
Why it matters
AppLovin is trading at an estimated 45% intrinsic discount and about 30% below one set of analyst price targets. One analyst narrative values the company at a fair value of $625 per share (27% upside from the last close of $498.76), based on a projected earnings path to $10.2 billion（約1.6兆円） by 2031 and a 25x P/E multiple. However, high debt levels and execution risk around the e-commerce rollout remain key risks to this bullish case.
What to watch
The stock trades at a 42.8x P/E, well above the wider US software sector at 27.2x but below a 53.7x fair ratio and an 84x peer average. The valuation gap means sentiment shifts could move the stock sharply in either direction.
