The company has a disappointing earnings surprise history. It missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and surpassed on one instance, delivering an average earnings surprise of negative 19.6%.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AppLovin’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $922.96 million, indicating a 31.4% year-over-year increase. The top line is likely to have reaped the benefits of technology upgradation and the launch of the AXON 2.0 engine. The portfolio optimization program is likely to have bought a fortune to the company.
The consensus estimate for the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter is 35 cents per share. Operating leverage in the Software Platform segment is likely to have contributed to such an increase in the bottom line.
