AppLovin's operating leverage stands out in the sector: ROE runs at 206.8%, more than +544% above the median, and ROIC reaches 114.1%, similarly ahead. Revenue growth of 70.0% outpaces the sector median by +464%, a rare combination of scale and acceleration in a mature software market. The F-Score of 8/9 reflects disciplined capital allocation—long-term debt is declining and no new shares were issued. Yet valuation carries a premium: the P/B of 51.3× runs +395% above the sector median, pricing in years of continued outperformance. Consensus models earnings growth in line with the company's track record, and the forward PEG sits at a reasonable level, though the stock trades above the sector on a price basis. The tension here is real—a genuinely strong business at a price that leaves little room for disappointment.

The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is weakening; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When APP reports on 2026-11-03, track whether revenue growth sustains its current pace — 5.6× the sector median at 12.4% YoY — and whether ROIC holds above 20%. A slip in either figure would be the first signal that the profitability block of the F-Score (currently 4/4) is under pressure.
On SEC EDGAR, open APP's most recent 10-K and focus on the Management's Discussion section for commentary on ROE (32.1%, 6.4× the sector median) and any debt disclosures that explain the Leverage & Liquidity score of 2/3. The one missing point there is worth understanding before forming a view on capital structure risk.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies and line up one metric — P/B, ROIC, or revenue growth YoY. APP's P/B of 10.4× sits 5× above the sector median, so placing it beside a handful of peers you choose will show whether that premium is common across the table or concentrated in a few names.

The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
