Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates.

Forecasting The Future: 17 Analyst Projections For AppLovin

Needham analyst Bernie McTernan reiterates AppLovin (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) from Hold to Hold.

Needham Reiterates Hold on AppLovinto Hold

Tradr ETFs is doubling down, literally, on the quantum theme. On Tuesday, the company rolled out two new daily single-stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">leveraged ETFs</a>: the Tradr 2X Long QUBT Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBX#BATS">QUBX</a>) and the Tradr 2X Long RGTI Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTU#BATS">RGTU</a>). 
These products are designed to provide 200% of the daily performance of Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>) and Rigetti Computing Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>), respectively.
The launches bring Tradr&#8217;s leveraged ETF portfolio to 14 funds and cements its status as a first-mover in quantum-themed ETFs. 
Speaking to Benzinga in an interview, Matt Markiewicz, head of Product and Capital Markets at Tradr, stated: &#8220;There are only several pure-play publicly traded quantum stocks out there, so investor attention is very focused on a handful of narratives right now.&#8221;
These new ETFs follow the success of the company&#8217;s leveraged D-Wave Quantum ETF, the Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTX#BATS">QBTX</a>), launched on April 25, which now boasts an average daily turnover of&nbsp;$32.5 million as of&nbsp;June 17. 
Since late April, Tradr ETFs has rolled out five 2X long leveraged ETFs on other compelling single stocks, including Tempus AI (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), AppLovin Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>), D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTS#NYSE">QBTS</a>), Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) and Upstart Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPST#NASDAQ">UPST</a>). 
As of&nbsp;June 17, the collective assets under management of those five ETFs, namely Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEMT#BATS">TEMT</a>) , Tradr 2X Long APP Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPX#NASDAQ">APPX</a>), Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QBTX#BATS">QBTX</a>), Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARCX#BATS">ARCX</a>) and Tradr 2X Long QBTS Daily ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPSX#BATS">UPSX</a>), stands at&nbsp;$110 million.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Trading The Future, Not The Fundamentals</h1>
After the April launch of QBTX, Tradr is riding the wave of speculative interest in quantum stocks. 
&#8220;In general, we are not making a fundamental call on any one stock when we launch these ETFs.&#8221; says Markiewicz. &#8220;We are looking at trading volumes, options volumes, volatility and what we call the ‘social zeitgeist' when we determine what could be a good candidate for a single-stock ETF.&#8221;
The appeal is obvious: speculative tales, jaw-dropping volatility and liquid underlying shares. 
&#8220;It's the volatility of QUBT that attracts traders. Also, like all quantum computing stocks, there is an element of speculation that draws traders to each and every story. Kind of like a gold company looking for its next big deposit, a biotech announcing a successful trial on a Phase III drug or an oil exploration company on the verge of finding a massive reserve,&#8221; Markiewicz noted.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Not Just Hype, But High Risk, High Reward</h1>
For investors, the allure is leverage without the sophistication of options or the inconvenience of margin. QUBX and RGTU are both actively managed and constructed with total return swaps on the underlying securities.
&#8220;Well, both ETFs are actively managed so there is no ‘tracking error' per se as that term is generally applied to index funds,&#8221; Markiewicz said. &#8220;However, both RGTI and QUBT are extremely liquid underlying stocks. On many days, they show up on &#8216;most active U.S. stock&#8217; lists. It's that liquidity that serves as the underpinning for the &#8216;total return swaps&#8217; that enables the fund to aim for the 200% daily exposure.&#8221;
Nevertheless, he warned that such ETFs are short-term trading instruments, rather than long-term investments. 
&#8220;As with any leveraged ETF, the volatility of the reference asset will play an important role in determining the final return of your trade. &nbsp;Even though you may have gotten the direction of the underlying trade right, your ETF trade return could deviate from that of what the stock has done.&#8221;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Quantum: AI&#8217;s Riskier Cousin?</h1>
While quantum computing remains in its infancy from a commercial perspective, institutional giants&#8217; interest is serving to legitimize the space. 
&#8220;If you take a look at the investment being thrown at quantum from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, IBM and Google, it's clear that there is something here,&#8221; Markiewicz observed, &#8220;Of course you'd never buy any of those stocks solely for their involvement in quantum but their R&amp;D spend helps to validate the technology to an extent.&#8221;
The question now is whether speculative interest will persist as long as commercialization lags behind. 
"It's kind of what AI was like three years ago when everyone started paying attention," Markiewicz said. "I'm not saying that quantum is three years out from being meaningful,l but just that it takes a while for the technology to start being of real value for corporations."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next?</h1>
With leveraged ETFs on compelling stocks already in the book, Tradr&#8217;s thematic playbook is becoming increasingly evident: head towards where the volatility and the traders are.
And what about other quantum players such as IonQ or ColdQuanta? 
&#8220;IonQ is up there in terms of being a lead horse in this exciting quantum race,&#8221; Markiewicz remarked, not suggesting Tradr&#8217;s quantum roster might have some entangled particles left to discover.

Quantum Volatility? Tradr's New ETFs QUBX, RGTU Are Built for It, Says Matt Markiewicz

AppLovin's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NYSE">APP</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.6% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.54 million shares sold short, which is 3.58% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.7 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>AppLovin Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1750777220_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AppLovin has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AppLovin's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AppLovin's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.82%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

AppLovin, First Solar And Li Auto Are Among Top 10 Large Cap Losers Last Week (June 16-20): Are The Others In Your Portfolio?

Shares of AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45940506/applovin-chewy-and-carvana-are-among-top-11-large-cap-losers-last-week-june-9-13-are-the-others-in-your-portfolio">down big Friday</a>. But they are close to a price level that may provide support and are oversold. This means they may be about to reverse and move higher.
We have made it our Stock of the Day because stocks at support that become oversold tend to rally.
The lower part of the chart is the Stochastics Indicator. It is a popular way to measure momentum.
If the blue line gets below the low horizontal red line, it indicates oversold conditions. As you can see, that's the case now. The last two times this happened were in March and April, and each time was a good buying opportunity.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="573" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20140013/APP-1-1024x573.png" alt="" class="wp-image-956582" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20140013/APP-1-1024x573.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20140013/APP-1-300x168.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20140013/APP-1-768x430.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/20140013/APP-1.png 1466w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Oversold means a stock has been pushed below its typical or usual trading range. When this happens, some traders will anticipate a reversion to the mean. This means a reversal and move higher.

These traders will come into the market as buyers. Their actions could put upward pressure on AppLovin.
The stock is also trading around a price that has been support. Sometimes a level that had been support can become so again because of regretful sellers.
They sold their shares at the support level, but when the price moved higher, they vowed to buy them back… if they could do so for the same prices they sold them for. So, when the stock returns to this level, their buying could create support again.
Sometimes support breaks and the trend lower continues. This is why many traders wait for a reversal to begin before they take a position.
They know they would not be buying at the lowest price, but they believe the odds will be in their favor if they wait for the reversal to start before getting in.
It is too soon to know whether AppLovin will reverse or break the support and continue lower.  But because of the oversold conditions, there is a chance that new buyers will come into the market and put a floor under the price.
They may even push it higher.

Casella previously appeared on the list in April ahead of first-quarter financial results. A stock like Casella could be attracting investors given the mostly recession proof element of the sector and as part of an industry that could avoid tariffs. The company recently announced it will ring the Opening Bell at the Nasdaq on Tuesday, June 17, which could keep the stock in the spotlight next week.

Applovin has been the subject of multiple short reports in recent years and this time around it was Culper Research alleging the company poses national security risks due to ties to China.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East — especially the Israel‑Iran conflict — and unexpectedly soft U.S. inflation data produced choppy market action this week. The S&amp;P 500 pulled back from all‑time highs as oil jumped above $70, marking its largest weekly gain in years.
Energy stocks led sector gains amid rising oil, while gold and silver rallied on demand for havens. Oracle (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) stood out, climbing 20% after strong earnings. The U.S. dollar dipped to a three-year low against major currencies.
Looking ahead, investors are watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting and U.S.–China trade discussions. Any change in rate guidance or geopolitical escalation could significantly sway market sentiment in the near term.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Eli Lilly, Okto, McDonalds — And Israel-Iran Conflict Sparks Oil Surge

Applovin Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) is in the crosshairs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45264550/muddy-waters-doubles-down-on-applovin-in-new-short-report-ahead-of-q1-earnings">short sellers again</a>.
What To Know: Culper Research issued a short report on AppLovin on Thursday, alleging the advertising technology company poses national security risks because of its potential ties to China.
The short seller noted that CEO Adam Foroughi has repeatedly denied that the company has any meaningful Chinese ownership or operational ties to China. Despite the repeated denials from Foroughi, Culper believes AppLovin has been backed by Chinese national Hao Tang since at least 2017. 
The report states that Tang controlled up to 28% of AppLovin Class A shares before the company&#8217;s IPO in 2021, and currently controls at least 9.8%. 
&#8220;Further, our research reveals Hao Tang's numerous ties to the CCP, money laundering, illegal gambling, and human trafficking operations,&#8221; the short seller said.
Benzinga has reached out to AppLovin for comment on the report.
Culper Research issued an initial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43981217/applovin-stock-drops-on-multiple-short-reports-allegations-of-copying-meta-creating-smoke-an">short report</a> on AppLovin in February. Since then, the company announced plans to try to merge with TikTok&#8217;s ex-China business. Culper also alleged that the company formed two agency agreements with Chinese AdTech companies BlueFocus Intelligence and eClickTech to expand cross-border e-commerce operations in China. Those agreements have not been disclosed to U.S. investors, according to the short seller. 
&#8220;AppLovin's covert Chinese ownership and operations raise not only concerns for shareholders, but for national security and data security – the very concerns AppLovin purports to address by acquiring TikTok's ex-China operations. We suspect AppLovin's pursuit of TikTok represents the Company's final &#8216;Hail Mary&#8217; attempt to alchemize its stock promotion into something lasting. It's desperate, and doomed,&#8221; Culper said in the report. 
Culper is not the only short-selling firm to target AppLovin. Muddy Waters previously alleged that AppLovin is &#8220;another scammy adtech company&#8221; that relies on retargeting for e-commerce conversions. Fuzzy Panda Research also accused the company of stealing data from Meta Platforms earlier this year. 
Despite being targeted by several short sellers, AppLovin shares are up more than 400% over the past year. The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45269045/applovin-stock-shakes-off-short-seller-report-shares-surge-on-q1-earnings-beat">beat analyst estimates</a> on the top and bottom lines when it reported first-quarter results last month as advertising revenue jumped 71% year-over-year. AppLovin guided for second-quarter advertising revenue in the range of $1.20 billion to $1.22 billion.
APP Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/APP">AppLovin shares</a> were down 2.04% at $375.61 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Morgan Stanley analyst Matthew Cost maintains AppLovin (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) with a Overweight and raises the price target from $420 to $460.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on AppLovin, Raises Price Target to $460

Applovin Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APP#NASDAQ">APP</a>) shares fell 3.66% to $402.59 Monday morning after being excluded from the latest S&amp;P 500 quarterly rebalance, disappointing investors who had anticipated its inclusion.
What To Know: This setback comes amid broader industry developments. JPMorgan analyst Cory Carpenter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45756083/which-internet-software-stocks-is-jp-morgan-bullish-on">recently raised</a> AppLovin's price forecast from $355 to $400, citing strong first-quarter results, regulatory tailwinds from the App Store ruling and optimism around its Axon 2 ad tech.
However, Needham analyst Bernie McTernan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45655193/applovins-valuation-reflects-high-expectations-for-monetization-expansion-analyst">reiterated</a> a Hold rating, pointing to modest Axon adoption growth and rising valuation concerns. McTernan noted the tool is yet to fully launch in self-service mode despite reaching 2,000 users and landing new clients like Reebok.

McTernan noted that AppLovin's valuation is now among the highest in his coverage group, driven by rising investor expectations for the company's ability to expand monetization through new advertising verticals.
AppLovin meanwhile projects second-quarter revenue of $1.21 billion and EPS of $1.86, as analysts remain divided on its valuation and growth trajectory.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy APP Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for AppLovin &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, APP has a 52-week high of $525.04 and a 52-week low of $60.67.
