AppLovin (APP) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

In this article:

AppLovin Corporation APP is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 8 after market close.

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%.

Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AppLovin’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $796.38 million, indicating an 11.7% 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 consensus estimate for the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter is 27 cents per share, indicating more than 100% growth from the year-ago reported figure. Operating leverage in the Software Platform segment is likely to have contributed to such an increase in the bottom line.
