AppLovin was already the best-performing tech stock of 2024, and that was before the stock popped on a big earnings beat.

AppLovin shares rocketed on Thursday after the online gaming and advertising company issued guidance that was well above estimates and reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue."As we continue to improve our models our advertising partners are able to successfully spend at a greater scale," the company said in a letter to shareholders.

Revenue in the third quarter climbed 39% to $1.2 billion, topping the $1.13 billion average estimate, according to LSEG. Earnings per share of $1.25 exceeded the 92-cent average estimate.For the fourth quarter, AppLovin sees revenue of $1.24 billion to $1.26 billion, representing growth of about 31% at the middle of the range. Analysts were expecting about $1.18 billion.

AppLovin attributes much of its growth to its AI advertising engine called AXON, particularly since releasing the updated 2.0 version last year. The technology helps put more targeted ads on the mobile gaming apps the company owns, and it works for other studios that license the software.The company said software platform revenue in the quarter increased 66% to $835 million, driven by improvements in AXON's models.

While revenue is increasing at a rapid rate, Wall Street is most attracted to AppLovin's profitability. Net income in the quarter increased 300% to $434.4 million, or $1.25 a share, from $108.6 million, or 30 cents a share, a year earlier. The software platform had an adjusted profit margin of 78%.
