Digital Turbine stock price target raised to $7 on alternative app store potential

Craig-Hallum raised its price target on Digital Turbine (NASDAQ:APPS) to $7.00 from $4.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the mobile software company's stock. The stock, currently trading at $6.81, has shown remarkable strength with a 184% gain year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data. This performance places it near its 52-week high of $6.86, significantly above its low of $1.18.

The investment firm cited Digital Turbine's work with large SingleTap customers preparing for alternative app store launches as a key driver for the upgrade. The company currently has live partnerships with Telefonica (NYSE:TEF) in the UK, Germany, and Brazil with Epic Games, providing Digital Turbine both fee and royalty revenue.

Digital Turbine recently secured a four-month extension on its approximately $409 million debt, which is not due until April 2026. The extension helps the company avoid triggering a going concern assumption by keeping the obligation classified as long-term debt. InvestingPro analysis highlights that the company operates with a total debt of $414.94 million and a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.54, indicating a significant leverage position.

The company reported better-than-expected results for the March quarter, particularly in EBITDA performance, and provided fiscal year 2026 revenue guidance in line with Street expectations while projecting stronger EBITDA. Craig-Hallum suggested the guidance may be conservative as it was the first earnings call for new CFO Stephen Lasher.

Craig-Hallum also highlighted Digital Turbine's strong advertising business, noting that brand advertisers are shifting spending toward the company, and identified current or potential partners including AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP), Epic Games, TikTok, Telefonica, and possibly Meta (NASDAQ:META) returning "with the recent alternative app store launches opening the door for advertising." While InvestingPro data shows the company faces near-term challenges with an expected 10% revenue decline this fiscal year, analysts project a return to profitability.
