Wolfe Research raised its price target on AppLovin Corporation to $425.00 from $410.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The new target represents potential upside from the current price of $390.57, with analyst targets ranging from $250 to $650.

U.S.-listed shares of the company rose 12% in Thursday trading.

The price target increase follows AppLovin’s solid second-quarter 2025 results, which showed revenue growth of 77%, exceeding guidance by 4.5%. This outperformance was primarily driven by strength in mobile gaming advertising. The company maintains impressive gross profit margins of 77.7% and has delivered a remarkable 481% return over the past year.

The company reported EBITDA of $1,108 million for the quarter, coming in 3.9% ahead of guidance. Most of the 9% sequential growth originated from mobile gaming advertising, though AppLovin continues to see positive momentum in e-commerce despite taking a more selective approach to onboarding new advertisers.

During the quarter, AppLovin increased the minimum GMV requirement for e-commerce customers to $100 million to support the development of its e-commerce offering before launching self-serve capabilities in the first half of 2026.

The company also announced plans to launch a marketing referral motion for large advertisers on its e-commerce offering, which will be renamed AXON Ad Manager, starting October 1st. AppLovin aims to achieve strong mid-market advertiser adoption before expanding internationally and launching a full-scale self-serve platform.
