San Francisco court denies AppLovin's request to block Unity's ad‑data collection, sending stock to 52‑week low
A San Francisco Superior Court rejected AppLovin Corp.'s emergency request for a temporary restraining order against Unity Software's Ad Quality SDK. The denial allowed Unity to continue gathering advertising data through AppLovin's MAX platform. AppLovin shares fell to a fresh 52‑week low in pre‑market trading.
Why it matters
The ruling removes a potential legal barrier for Unity, likely increasing competitive pressure on AppLovin's take rate and prompting further sell‑offs, as noted by analysts such as Wedbush's Alicia Reese. The lower share price reflects investors' reassessment of AppLovin's growth outlook.
