APP: Expectations vs Outcomes

Every tracked AppLovin print on both axes: what the straddle charged going in against what the stock did coming out, and what management guided against what the company printed.

One scored print is not a track record. A rolling ratio only starts meaning something after several quarters, and this name has 1. Read the row, not the average.

Q2 2026 guidance against the printed figures
GuidedRangePrintedVerdict
Revenue$1.915bn to $1.945bn$1.92bnInside
Adjusted EBITDA$1.615bn to $1.645bn$1.61bnBelow

The only miss on the board so far, and it is a narrow one: revenue landed at the bottom of the range and adjusted EBITDA came in half a point under it. Reported ranges differ slightly by source (some quote $1.92-1.95bn and $1.62-1.65bn), which does not change either verdict. No primary source was indexed at entry, so both metrics sit outside the strict scorecard until the filing is cited.

417.8 to 335.67

Resolved on the August 6 close: 417.80 to 335.67, a fall of 19.66% over the reaction session, against a 12.5% implied. Published reads ran from 19.24% to 20% and one quoted 17% from the pre-market; the two closes are what the row scores. The guidance block on this row already shows revenue printing at the bottom of its own range and EBITDA below it, which is the reaction in one line.
