Though it has retreated year to date, AppLovin stock easily outperformed the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq over the past year."

"Since the company went public in 2021, its share price is 946% higher. This has clearly been a top growth stock that investors have benefited from owning in recent years. AppLovin has been among the top tech stocks seeing a lot of love from the market, but is that still true? These days, the company focuses on providing software solutions that enhance the marketing and monetization of online advertisers."

Let's dive into some catalysts and price predictions around where this stock could go for the rest of 2025 through to the end of this decade."

AppLovin experienced a steep early-year decline of more than 35% amid a pending class action lawsuit and short-seller reports, then recovered after better-than-expected quarterly results. The shares reached $745.61 in September and revisited that level in December, outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq over the past year despite a year-to-date retreat. Since the 2021 IPO, the stock rose 946%, reflecting strong growth and investor enthusiasm for its marketing and monetization software for online advertisers. The company benefits from secular growth trends and retail interest but previously endured a greater-than-90% drawdown; analysts remain mixed, though Benchmark and Jefferies retained Buy ratings.
