Innovative Product Offerings Aid APPS Prospects
Digital Turbine is benefiting from a strong portfolio that is boosting its top-line growth. It has launched the DT Hub for alternative app distribution with five U.S. operators. Its SingleTap licensing is growing with expanded partnerships and better execution.
Tailwinds from opportunities via global regulatory momentum for alternative app distribution in the EU, Japan, Korea, India and the United States, supported by the Digital Markets Act are also aiding APPS’ prospects.
However, APPS is facing challenges from its declines in legacy performance advertising due to reduced dependence on third-party DSPs and commoditization in the ad tech gaming space. It is also suffering from slower-than-expected improvement in leveraging first-party performance advertising for AGP business.
Weak post-pay device upgrades in the United States are further constraining APPS’ device sales and software upgrades. The decline in device sales in the United States is also affecting revenues from legacy supply partners.
What Should Investors Do With APPS Stock?
Digital Turbine is well-positioned with innovative products and regulatory tailwinds. However, it faces challenges from legacy business declines, competitive pressures and macroeconomic headwinds.
