To this end, it has removed artificial block size limits and re-enabled Script commands and other technical capabilities which had been historically disabled or restricted by the protocol developers of the BTC blockchain. This allows the network to process tens of thousands of transactions per second while maintaining extremely low transaction fees for micropayments, in addition to offering advanced capabilities such as tokens, smart contracts, computation and other data use cases. The BSV network is unique in its capacity for unbounded on-chain scaling while also being more aligned with the original design of Bitcoin than any other blockchain.

The launch will begin on a referral-only basis, before opening to all advertisers in the second half of 2026, with international customers also to be included for the first time, he noted.The analyst rates AppLovin an “Outperform.” He raised his 2025 and 2026 earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation estimates for the company by 5% and 22%, respectively, factoring in a bullish outlook on the non-gaming self-service launch.&nbsp;Separately, Phillip Securities initiated coverage of AppLovin with an ‘Accumulate’ rating and a $725 price target, according to a summary of the note&nbsp;on The Fly.

AppLovin Corp. (APP) stock, which has held up&nbsp;reasonably well this year despite the controversies surrounding the app marketing platform, received a bullish call from an analyst late Monday.Scotiabank initiated coverage of&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/APP">AppLovin stock</a> with an ‘Outperform’ rating and a $430 price target, the Fly reported. The price target implies roughly 25% upside from the stock’s closing price on Monday.&nbsp;Analysts at the firm said the company has blown through the “Rule of 40” into the triple-digits of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin plus revenue growth.&nbsp;The “Rule of 40” is a metric used for measuring performances of software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies. It specifies that to be a healthy software company, the sum of its revenue growth and profit margin should equal or exceed 40%.The first-quarter results released in early May showed that AppLovin’s total revenue grew 40% year over year (YoY) and its adjusted EBITDA margin was at 68%.The research firm conceded that the valuation, in terms of sales,&nbsp;appears expensive.&nbsp;Still, it&nbsp;believes "there is plenty of further upside" on EBITDA, especially as AppLovin "fundamentally reshapes the landscape of performance advertising.”AppLovin has been a target of multiple short sellers. In late March, Muddy Waters said its web traffic analysis found that about 52% of AppLovin's e-commerce conversions are retargeting, but in reality, the number is only about 25%-35%.In late February, Bear Cave substack newsletter author Edwin Dorsey alleged that AppLovin's rapid rise was fueled by low-quality revenue growth from "ads that are deceptive, predatory, and at times unreadable or unclickable."But sell-side analysts are optimistic.&nbsp;Out of the 25 analysts covering AppLovin stock, 19 have&nbsp;a ‘Buy’ or ‘Strong Buy’ rating, according to Koyfin data. Five rate the stock as a ‘Hold,’ while&nbsp;one rates it as a ‘Sell.’&nbsp; The consensus price target for the stock is $465.49.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward AppLovin stock stayed ‘neutral’ (53/100) by early Tuesday, with the message volume at a ‘low’ level.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:615/53;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_07_08_at_5_28_11_AM_png_71ab0bafe7.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-07-08 at 5.28.11 AM.png" width="615" height="53"><figcaption>APP sentiment and message volume as of 5:29 a.m. ET, July 8 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A bullish watcher based his optimism on the company potentially supplying algorithms for TikTok once a deal for selling the U.S. arm of the Chinese app is struck.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Big_Timer/message/620129828</stembedurl>However, another user raised the specter of the stock dropping to the $150 level, given there is “absolutely no support anywhere.”AppLovin stock has gained 6.5% year-to-date, aligning with&nbsp;the S&amp;P 500’s 6% advance.

Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation 5 gaming console and an accessory in select markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Australia, and New Zealand.It's among the first price increases by a major company or for a popular product after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs on most countries earlier this month.&nbsp;Analysts have warned that higher tariffs in the U.S. and reciprocal tariffs on American goods by other nations will increase the cost of production and shipping, ultimately forcing companies to raise consumer prices.From Monday, the PS5 will cost 500 euros ($570) in Europe and 430 pounds ($566) in the UK.Sony also raised the price of a disk drive accessory for the PS5. It did not hike the cost of its pricier PS5 Pro model.According to a statement, the company said factors like "the challenging economic environment, including high inflation and fluctuating exchange rates," were behind its move.PS5 is among the most popular gaming consoles globally, alongside Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2.Days after Trump announced the tariffs, Nintendo<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DEwSaaW4hKV6g-6vmr4MAUG7vSb5Qt-fuLWVPqDqXbQ/edit?usp=sharing"> said</a> it would halt pre-orders of the Switch 2 in the U.S. "to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions."Gaming companies are already pressured by soft demand as consumers hold back on non-essential purchases amid high inflation.&nbsp;Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence have said that the price of game consoles such as the PS5 and Switch 2 in the U.S.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-11/nintendo-switch-2-and-sony-ps5-likely-to-get-price-hikes-due-to-tariffs">&nbsp;would rise</a> at least 30% in their base-care scenario.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

GameStop Corp (GME) is proving to be a haven in a market that is melting from President Donald Trump's trade war, thanks to a series of recent moves that have made the stock attractive again among retail investors.Shares of the well-known “meme stock” rose 3.4% on Monday and gained another 1.7% in after-hours trading to $24.70. They gained 11.3% in the previous session.That contrasts with the benchmark S&amp;P 500 (SPX), which declined 6% and 0.2% in the last two sessions.In a Stocktwits poll, 60% of about 1,700 respondents preferred GameStop as the stock to buy from a basket of popular meme stocks such as AMC Entertainment (AMC), Blackberry (BB), and Groupon (GRPN).<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:691/394;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_04_08_at_10_18_26_AM_png_00c12f7a8a.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-04-08 at 10.18.26 AM.png" width="691" height="394"></figure>Confidence in GameStop comes, among other things, from company insiders buying shares. Last week, CEO Ryan Cohen&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gamestop-ceo-10m-purchase-keeps-retail-confidence-high-amid-bitcoin-pivot/chf9raNRbeo">bought</a>&nbsp;500,000 company shares worth $10.8 million.The management buying shares in the company typically signals their confidence in the business.GameStop is also pushing ahead with a significant Bitcoin play. The video games retailer is raising $1.3 billion through convertible notes to buy Bitcoin as a balance sheet asset.The move has generated a mixed response — shares moved up and down widely the week before last — although it has raised interest among investors.GameStop's unusual moves&nbsp;are keeping investors hooked, and Cohen's recent post was another in this category.Cohen,&nbsp;a known Trump supporter, quipped about&nbsp;U.S. import tariffs on Friday, saying in an X post: "I can't wait for my $10,000 made in the USA iPhone."GameStop has suffered too,&nbsp;indirectly. Soon after Trump’s tariff announcement, Nintendo said it would indefinitely halt U.S. preorders of the Nintendo Switch 2 due to a potential impact.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for the company held in the 'bullish' category with 'high’ message volume, as of late Monday.Users posted saying that GME could be a hedge against the stock market crash.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/AccountChallenged/message/610797275</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/VXRTBULL/message/610685254</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/GME">GME&nbsp;shares</a> are down 22.5% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
