Did APP Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results

Yes. AppLovin reported Q2 2026 earnings of $3.76 a share on Aug 5, 2026, beating the $3.75 consensus estimate by 0.1%. Revenue was $1.9B against a $1.9B estimate.

AppLovin posted a mixed but broadly strong second quarter for 2026, <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/08/05/live-will-applovin-crush-q2-earnings-tonight-after-the-market-closes/">investors were watching closely</a> heading into the report, and the company delivered its fourth consecutive GAAP EPS beat, earning $3.76 per share against a consensus estimate of $3.75, a 0.14% beat. Revenue of $1.92 billion rose 52.8% year over year but came in 0.94% below the $1.94 billion consensus, a mild shortfall that did little to diminish the underlying momentum in AppLovin's advertising platform, which drove Adjusted EBITDA margin to 84% as net income climbed to $1.27 billion. The advertising engine's operating leverage remained the central story, with revenue growth continuing to outpace cost increases despite meaningful rises in R&D and cost of revenue. Free cash flow reached $863.32 million for the quarter, and the company repurchased $551.30 million in shares. Looking ahead, management guided Q3 2026 revenue to $2.06 billion to $2.09 billion, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expected to hold near 83%, signaling continued confidence in the platform's trajectory.

Key Takeaways
  • 53% year-over-year revenue growth
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 84% from 81% year-over-year
  • Net income growth of 55% year-over-year
  • Strong operating leverage with revenue growth outpacing expense growth

What Is AppLovin's Outlook?
