Why Is AppLovin Stock Trading Near Its Low While Revenue Keeps Growing?

AppLovin (APP) stock has lost about 55% since mid-December 2025, falling to $305 by September 9, 2026, while the S&P 500 gained 12.5%. The business did not shrink: second-quarter revenue grew 53% year over year. A single report cannot account for a nine-month slide, but the August one shows why growth that fast is hard to price. It arrives in steps the company cannot schedule.
