The lawsuit alleges that AppLovin made false and/or\nmisleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) the generative AI video\ncreative feature for the Company’s AppLovin Ads platform was subject to\nsignificant development delays, making its release on the Company’s timeline\nunlikely; (ii) Defendants overstated the constancy with which AppLovin was\nimproving its AI models; and (iii) for these reasons, among others, AppLovin\nhad significantly overstated the benefits and reliability of the purportedly\n“virtuous cycle” and “compounding” value proposition that its AI\nmodels provided to customers.\n\nOn July 13, 2026, Bank of America Securities published a note reporting\nsofter-than-expected e-commerce ad growth for AppLovin for the month of June.\nBank of America Securities stated, “AppLovin’s eCommerce footprint\nexpanded at a slower pace in June,” and data “suggested a muted GA\nstart.” Bank of America Securities lowered its expectations of AppLovin’s\nannual revenue, “assuming a slower initial GA ramp.” On this news, the\nprice of AppLovin’s shares declined by $61.13 per share, or approximately\n12.65%, from $506.98 to close at $442.85 per share on July 13, 2026.\n\nOn August 5, 2026, AppLovin reported its second quarter 2026 financial\nresults, reporting revenue of $1.92 billion, below consensus estimates of\n$1.94 billion. The Company attributed their revenue performance to model\nperformance, asserting that “our pace of meaningful model improvement was\nlighter than normal during the quarter.” AppLovin also revealed that its\ngenerative AI video tool was “still [a] work in progress” and had not yet\nbeen rolled out. On this news, the price of AppLovin’s shares declined by\n$82.13 per share, or approximately 19.66%, from $417.80 to close at $335.67\nper share on August 6, 2026.\n\n[CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE LAWSUIT\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kmllp.com%2Fcases-investigations%2Fapplovin-corporationn&esheet=54622363&newsitemid=20261015536765&lan=en-US&anchor=CLICK+HERE+TO+LEARN+MORE+ABOUT+THE+LAWSUIT&index=4&md5=7091f519e072dd2ae39455da136c9141)\n]\n\nWhat Should I Do?\n\nIf you purchased or otherwise acquired AppLovin securities, have information,\nor would like to learn more about this investigation, please contact Lauren\nMolinaro\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kmllp.com%2Fprofessionals%2FLauren-Molinaro&esheet=54622363&newsitemid=20261015536765&lan=en-US&anchor=Lauren+Molinaro&index=5&md5=14e990d80e774eedf53e0709f725f1cd)\nof Kirby McInerney LLP\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kmllp.com%2F&esheet=54622363&newsitemid=20261015536765&lan=en-US&anchor=Kirby+McInerney+LLP&index=6&md5=162d6f362cf398e2da35ef6e9d0abdd3)\nby email at investigations@kmllp.com (mailto:investigations@kmllp.com) , or\nfill out the contact form below, to discuss your rights or interests with\nrespect to these matters at no cost.\n\nWhat is the Lead Plaintiff Deadline?\n\nCourts do not consider applications filed after this deadline.
