Why It Happened
- In the same press release that Digital Turbine announced the closure of its AdColony acquisition, management provided preliminary fourth quarter 2021 and first quarter 2022 numbers.
- Those numbers were very good.
- Management expects fourth quarter revenue to clock in around $95.1 million, which is roughly 15% better than the $83 million expected by Wall Street analysts.
- Management also expects first quarter revenue to be $137.5 million, which is a whopping 60% better than the $86 million expected by Wall Street analysts.
- This new guide implies 142% revenue growth in Q4 and 133% revenue growth in Q1, following 146% revenue growth in Q3.
- In other words, the growth narrative here refuses to slow.
- So does APPS stock. It just keeps powering higher.
Does It Matter?
- We believe Digital Turbine is a long-term winner.
- The company’s core business of pre-installing apps onto phones and dynamically installing apps onto phones based on usage data is a genius one that represents the future of mobile app marketing and advertising.
- Management is also doing everything it can to innovatively expand its mobile media solutions ecosystem via acquisitions.
- As a result, Digital Turbine’s growth narrative refuses to slowdown.
- So long as this growth narrative remains robust, APPS stock will continue to power higher at an incredible pace.
APPS Stock Price Forecast
- Digital Turbine stock is richly valued. No doubt about it. APPS stock trades at 17X forward sales.
- But this premium multiple is justified by the company’s growth rates and potential. Revenues are more than doubling every quarter, and less than 20% of smartphones in the world use Digital Turbine’s software — when, in reality, all 100% of them could theoretically benefit from using it.
- As such, we think APPS stock has solid upside from here.
- The consensus Wall Street price target on APPS stock is $97.
- We think shares will run towards and above $100 within the next few months.
APPS stock is a great long-term holding. But it is just one stock of many which we feel represents a new wave of technology disruptors positioned to massively change the way the world plays, eats, travels, and works over the next decade.
