On this episode of Stock Movers:

- AppLovin (APP) shares are up after the AI-powered advertisement platform reported first-quarter results that beat expectations. It gave an outlook for 2Q, and projected ad revenue beating forecasts too. The company also agreed to sell its video-games unit to London-based Tripledot Studios to focus on its advertising technology business.
