AppLovin Faces SEC Probe Over Data Breach Allegations

Tech giant AppLovin faces a SEC investigation following a whistleblower tip about potential data protection breaches. The company's stock market plummeted after the announcement, but analysts predict a continued long-term rally.

AppLovin, a mobile gaming and app monetization company, is under scrutiny for allegedly violating data processing regulations. The SEC investigation centres on claims that AppLovin used 'device fingerprints' to track users without consent, contravening agreements with partners like Apple and Google.

The probe follows a significant stock market price drop in October 2025, with shares falling by 14%. Despite this setback, analysts remain optimistic about the company's long-term prospects, citing a 930% increase in stock market value over five years and a 95% rise since the start of the year.

AppLovin's financial performance has been robust, with profits surging to $2.42 billion over the last four quarters and a profit margin of 45.7%. While the SEC investigation poses a challenge, the company's strong track record and growth potential may help it navigate this hurdle. AppLovin's focus on mobile gaming and app monetization strategies continues to drive its success.
