Top 10 AI Stocks Analysts Are Monitoring

7. AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 95

AppLovin Corporation (NASDAQ:APP) provides a leading marketing platform powered by AI technology. On February 28, Analyst Mike Hickey of Benchmark Co. reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and retained the price target of $525.00. Highlighting AppLovin’s robust business model and operational transparency, Hickey asserts that the recent claims made by short seller reports that AppLovin has been misrepresenting the benefits of its AI advertising platform are unfounded and fail to reflect the company’s adherence to industry regulations and financial integrity.

AppLovin’s platform complies with App Store and Google Play policies, and its business model is focused on genuine user engagement rather than artificial metrics. Finally, he noted how the company is being audited by a Big Four firm, which reflects on the high standards of financial reporting. Its rapid growth in e-commerce advertising, boosted by AI-driven optimization, reinforced the buy rating on the stock. The firm finally advised investors to view the short reports with skepticism, focusing on AppLovin’s growth potential and established track record instead.
