We see APP as a high quality business with a sustainable competitive advantage.
The company has high growth, high FCF generation, low SBC dilution, limited debt, 70% + EBITDA margins, incremental EBITDA margins of >90%.
APP is a play on AI and APP's ability to expand into new verticals, currently D2C ecommerce.
AI engineers at APP have proven their dominance in the gaming advertising vertical and are expanding into other verticals, we think they probability of success is high.
APP has high growth, with options on faster growth in 2025 and 2026, particularly the launch of self-service tools in Q2 2025.
FCF growth into 2027 has the potential to be very rapid and the market has not given APP full credit for this yet.
Potential Upside: $635 (+52%)
Sensible Downside: $270(-35%)
