APP AppLovin has fully pivoted to ad tech, leaving its app portfolio behind, and delivered an outstanding Q3 with revenue of $1.41 billion a 69% year-over-year increase an extraordinary 82% adjusted EBITDA margin, GAAP EPS of $2.45, and nearly doubled free cash flow at $1.05 billion.
Its growth is powered by AI-driven ad targeting and the newly launched AXON self-serve platform, which is seeing new advertiser spend grow roughly 50% week over week.
Looking ahead, Q4 guidance is strong with $1.57–$1.60 billion in revenue and steady EBITDA margins, alongside a $3.2 billion share buyback. While regulatory scrutiny exists, AppLovin’s record profits, explosive cash generation, and rapidly scaling platform highlight a company gaining serious momentum and potentially undervalued for the future.
