Analyst Alec Brondolo has since raised the company’s first-quarter revenue estimates by 3%, buoyed by strong mobile game checks. The checks suggest that in-app advertising growth is above normal seasonality, with Applovin holding a significant share.

“Industry checks indicate 1Q mobile game IAA revs trended better than seasonal (1Q generally down ~LSD, 1Q:26 ~flat q/q). APP share of voice in IAA inventory ~flat y/y (even as META 1Q share ticked up to ~13-14% vs. ~11% in 4Q),” Brondolo said.
