AppLovin stock climbed about 23% in premarket trading on Thursday. The company topped expectations for third-quarter profit and revenue.

Its guidance for the fourth quarter also landed above analyst estimates. That gave the rally extra fuel.

Chartmill listed APP among the S&P 500's biggest premarket gainers, up about 22%. The stock had already gained about 10.7% in the prior session.

Key points

  • APP rose about 23% premarket after beating Q3 profit and revenue expectations.
  • Q4 guidance came in above estimates.
  • The jump comes during a broad tech selloff, a sharp contrast with the sector.

What it could mean for $APP

A gap this large on an earnings beat could draw fresh attention from momentum traders. Strength against a weak tech tape may also show that investors are rewarding clear earnings and guidance surprises. Investors will be watching whether the move holds once the regular session opens.
