Wall Street loves AppLovin (APP +5.36%) right now. The company last month reported 70% revenue growth in 2025, to $5.48 billion, and generated $3.95 billion in free cash flow. Its Q4 revenue hit $1.66 billion with a pretty remarkable 84% adjusted EBITDA margin, and guidance calls for another revenue step-up in early 2026. Following the report, it seems like every analyst has rushed in with upgrades and higher price targets. The numbers are spectacular, but that's exactly why I think they're dangerous. On paper, AppLovin looks diversified: It owns an AI self-serve ad engine (Axon), a mobile ad exchange (Max), and a growing e-commerce ad platform. Management talks about "omnichannel performance marketing" and "multi-vertical expansion." Strip away the labels, and AppLovin is really one thing to me: a performance advertising engine built around mobile attribution and user tracking. In 2025, its Software Platform -- basically ads -- grew 88% to $4.81 billion and drove nearly all the profit, while the Apps side, which looks more like gaming or content, actually shrank as a share of the business. The catch? AppLovin doesn't control the rules. Apple and Alphabet's Google do. The company itself warns that changes to mobile OSs or privacy frameworks, such as Apple's App Tracking Transparency, can affect its ability to measure, target, and optimize ads. Workarounds exist, but they're just that: workarounds. The bull case assumes the current setup continues to work. The bear case is that AppLovin's advantages sit on rented land. A new privacy rule, attribution change, or app store policy could shift the math overnight.

Bonjour et Bienvenue to the Paris Edition. I’m Bloomberg Opinion columnist Lionel Laurent . If you haven’t yet, subscribe now to the Paris Edition newsletter . Nuke Offer To be free, one must be feared. That’s what Emmanuel Macron told ministers and military top brass this week at the French base for nuclear submarines at Ile Longue, as he unveiled a historic step toward bolstering France’s atomic arsenal and offering nuclear arms cooperation to European partners. In a West where American abandonment is no longer a speculative what-if, the nuclear question has become absolutely central. Yet it will also require some tough political and funding trade-offs. The core shift proposed by Macron is to deploy Rafale fighter jets capable of carrying warheads to other European countries, and to offer allies the chance to join French nuclear exercises as part of “forward deterrence.” Within this is the offer of “signaling,” whereby nuclear-capable Rafales could be flown over other European countries to indicate France’s readiness to respond to a threat. It shows France is willing to update its nuclear doctrine and extend its security umbrella without giving up sovereignty; the fact that France’s nuclear deterrent is not dependent on the US is an important factor. The response so far has been cautious optimism from France’s neighbors, with Germany offering support but Eastern Europeans less confident that Paris would come to their aid in a nuclear conflict on the border with Russia. (Perhaps the 2027 election might have something to do with that.) Then there’s the question of the US security umbrella, which Europe isn’t ready to let go of. If US collective deterrence loses credibility while France’s plan fails to convince, we may see individual states pursue their own nukes, warns Gregoire Roos of Chatham House, undermining cohesion. Then there’s the funding question. Nuclear deterrence is a large, inflexible part of France’s defense spending, writes Jean Dalbard of Bloomberg E...

Credit investors are swiftly unwinding long positions worth tens of billions of dollars and jumping into hedging trades. Bullish bets in high-grade credit-default swap indexes have plunged by about a fifth in recent weeks, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. Indicators by BNP Paribas SA, which track metrics like the amount of cash investors hold or the volatility of their portfolio, show that investors are now short risk. Conflict in the Middle East and worries about the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence are pushing money managers to reduce long positions that had insulated the safest part of the credit market from most risks over the past year. They’re doing so in an unsettled period, when markets can swiftly reverse direction depending on the headlines of the day. “There is a lot of nervousness and a lot of uncertainty and people are afraid,” said Viktor Hjort , global head of credit strategy at BNP Paribas. “Many of them have already sold and dumped the risk.” In credit, the mood shift is most clearly seen in CDS indexes. Formerly just a hedge against companies going bust, these gauges have become a popular way to take a broad view on market direction because of their high levels of liquidity. They are also able to react to news much faster than corporate bonds, which are still the main building block of a credit portfolio.

The weekly data doesn’t yet reflect the impact of war in Iran, though a jump in CDS index spreads amid high trading volumes suggests the positioning shift is ongoing. A separate US credit positioning indicator run by BNP Paribas fell below zero in the past few days, while a European measure sank deeper into negative territory, indicating that investors are now short risk. The gauges include metrics like ca...

The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is home to some of the biggest success stories in tech and growth investing. However, certain stocks in the index face challenges like profitability concerns, rising costs, or shifts in market trends. Investing in Nasdaq 100 stocks isn’t just about picking big names - it’s about finding the right ones, and that’s where StockStory comes in. That said, here are two Nasdaq 100 stocks that have huge potential and one best left off your watchlist. One Stock to Sell: NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) Market Cap: $53.21 billion Spun off from Dutch electronics giant Philips in 2006, NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) is a designer and manufacturer of chips used in autos, industrial manufacturing, mobile devices, and communications infrastructure. Why Does NXPI Worry Us? Annual sales declines of 3.9% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle Projected sales growth of 10.6% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand At $210.94 per share, NXP Semiconductors trades at 15.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why NXPI doesn’t pass our bar. Two Stocks to Buy: Nvidia (NVDA) Market Cap: $4.45 trillion Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and two former Sun Microsystems engineers, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a leading fabless designer of chips used in gaming, PCs, data centers, automotive, and a variety of end markets. Why Will NVDA Outperform? Annual revenue growth of 88.3% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle Share buybacks catapulted its annual earnings per share growth to 80.5%, which outperformed its revenue gains over the last five years Robust free cash flow margin of 45.5% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute Nvidia is trading at $182.10 per share, or 22x forward P/E.

Iran is under intense pressure not just from the war but from internal unrest and political uncertainty and Aliyev's message comes across as a warning to Tehran: any attempt to pressure Azerbaijan militarily or diplomatically could result in a response from Baku, including one that affects Iran's internal stability.

“At this point, it’s Israel/Palestine. Rangers/Celtic. No one remembers how it got started. All they know is, ‘I like this team and I don’t like that team.’ The whole country’s gone fucking mad. It’s what happens in a civil war – everyone starts thinking with the blood.” In a new play simply titled The Battle, those words are spoken by a fictionalised Damon Albarn, as he leads his band Blur into a contest with Oasis for a summer No 1 and the de facto kingship of Britpop. But then he recoils as he wonders what on earth he has got involved in. Musical considerations inevitably take second place to sales figures, as the brief, superficial friendship between the two groups curdles into a poisonous loathing, mostly on the Oasis side. And, ironically, the band that has a thoroughly uncomplicated relationship with fame and success – the one fronted by the dependably mad-for-it Gallagher brothers – ends up losing out to a quartet whose victory instantly fills them with angst and emptiness. The Battle – two hours of vivid, knockabout pop-cultural history, which I just saw at Birmingham Rep, ahead of its move to Manchester – is the work of John Niven, the former musician and music industry insider who recently published a profoundly moving family memoir titled O Brother, but is still most renowned for his grimly comic 2008 record-biz novel Kill Your Friends. double quotation mark In what becomes a running joke, Noel calls risotto rice cooked in Bovril Turned into a film in 2015, the story drew on all the excess and venality of the period The Battle is set in. What this new work most vividly deals in, though, is the eternal British fixation with class, which the Blur-Oasis clash was steeped in, something proved by a skip through the mountain of press coverage. As well as comparisons with the Beatles and Rolling Stones, this subtext was everywhere. The Guardian’s most pointed headline was, “Working-class heroes lead art-school trendies”, while in the eyes of the long-defunct To...

Rail passengers planning to travel over the Easter break face disrupted journeys owing to a six-day shutdown on Britain’s biggest intercity line. Engineering work means that there will be no mainline services on the west coast mainline between London Euston and Milton Keynes from Good Friday (3 April) to Wednesday 8 April. There will also be no service between Preston and Lancaster on the line on 4-5 April. Network Rail said the work, part of a £400m project to boost the reliability of the line, was vital and that bank holidays were chosen for such works because they were among the least busy times to close. “The four-day period at Easter gives us a valuable opportunity to complete projects that simply can’t be delivered during a normal weekend,” said Jake Kelly, the body’s regional director for the north-west and central region. “This ensures we maximise the time our teams are out working on the tracks.” New track will be laid at Willesden, north London, while there will be repairs and upgrades at Harrow and Wealdstone station. A bridge in Ledburn, Buckinghamshire, will be given extra protection to prevent future damage. Network Rail shut the west coast mainline for four days over the Easter break last year. “We know how important bank holidays are – particularly at Easter, when families and friends come together,” Kelly said. “That’s why we work hard to keep as much of the network open as possible while carrying out these vital upgrades.” Elsewhere on Great Britain’s rail network, engineers will be involved in more than 270 other upgrade projects over the Easter period. Avanti West Coast will run services between Preston and Carlisle via the Settle and Carlisle line. Anglo-Scottish services will be diverted via Dumfries and Kilmarnock between Good Friday and Easter Monday. Over the same period, services between London Waterloo and Clapham Junction will be reduced, and there will be no trains between Winchester and Southampton in Hampshire, or between Herne Bay and...
