Fusion42 · 6 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

BofA Securities lowered its price target on AppLovin due to a slowdown in gaming ads growth, citing a one-off issue in its model discovery process and higher compute costs, despite strong revenue growth and high gross profit margins.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Advertising Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tighter scrutiny on revenue growth in gaming ads as a delay in model improvements impacts forecasts. Review your reliance on high compute costs and prepare for valuation pressure in your next funding or exit discussions.
