Applovin’s Stage: A Fleeting Ascent

Behold, the curious spectacle of Applovin (APP +7.11%), a company lately graced with a surge of investor fancy. It appears a subsidiary, Adjust, has published a report most encouraging concerning the proliferation of these miniature digital diversions we call mobile applications. Thus, the shares have enjoyed a temporary elevation, a puff of wind beneath their wings, rising by a respectable margin before the day’s curtain fell.

A Measurement of Illusions

Adjust, that purveyor of metrics and analytics, has declared – before the assembled multitudes of the market, naturally – that installations of these applications have increased by ten percent in the past year. And sessions, those fleeting moments of engagement, by seven percent. A triumph, one might say, though whether it signifies true progress or merely a greater number of distractions remains a question for the philosophers.

The prognosticators at Adjust foresee further gains, predicated upon the notion that users of these portable devices will become ever more scattered across various platforms. This, they believe, will create a greater demand for the very instruments that measure and dissect this digital wandering – instruments, naturally, in which Applovin specializes. They counsel developers to consider the entirety of this app ecosystem, a counsel delivered with the air of a physician prescribing a tonic for a most peculiar ailment. Their Director of Marketing, one Tiahn Wetzler, proclaims that sustainable growth depends on tracking these users across all connected environments. A statement so obvious, one wonders why it requires an official pronouncement.

The Adjust report, in essence, confirms what has been plain to any discerning observer for some time: the realm of applications is vast, varied, and relentlessly expanding. Thus, Applovin, like a player upon a crowded stage, still possesses a certain potential. The question, of course, is whether it can seize it. And, given recent performances – a fourth quarter exceeding expectations, as they say – one is inclined to believe it might. Though, let us not mistake a single good act for a masterpiece. The market, like a fickle audience, is easily amused, and just as easily disappointed.
