Shares of mobile app technology company AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP) jumped 5.1% in the afternoon session after the company's shares rose amid a broad market rally sparked by dovish comments from the Federal Reserve, with the move also supported by a price target increase from Wells Fargo. The positive momentum was supported by an analyst action from the previous day. Wells Fargo analyst Alec Brondolo maintained an "Overweight" rating on AppLovin's stock while increasing the price target to $491 from $480. The analyst's raised revenue estimates for 2026 and 2027 are reportedly due to rising web traffic to AppLovin's customer sites and the company attracting larger clients. This company-specific optimism was amplified by a broad market rally after Federal Reserve Chair Powell's remarks that "downside risks to employment are rising," which investors interpreted as a dovish shift, boosting equities across the board.
