Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are five key points explaining the approximate 16.9% movement in Digital Turbine (APPS) stock from August 31, 2025, to December 4, 2025: 1. Strong Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results. Digital Turbine reported robust financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025 in June, with total revenue increasing 6% year-over-year to $119.2 million and adjusted EBITDA growing by 66% year-over-year to $20.5 million, surpassing analyst expectations for earnings per share and revenue. This strong performance, which resulted in a post-earnings stock rise, likely set a positive tone influencing later stock movements within the specified period.

2. Significant Growth in App Growth Platform (AGP) Business. The company's App Growth Platform (AGP) business experienced substantial growth, with supply volumes seeing a 30% year-over-year surge in impressions during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. This growth was attributed to the expansion of its SDK footprint, strong performance in the APAC region, and increased non-gaming inventory.
