What Moved Digital Turbine Pre-Market (down 22.48%)

Digital Turbine reported fiscal second-quarter 2027 results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 on November 9, 2026. Revenue of USD 178.7 million grew 27% year on year, with On Device Solutions at USD 115.6 million, up 20%, and the App Growth Platform at USD 63.5 million, up 42%, both before eliminations. Adjusted net income was USD 23.4 million, or USD 0.18 per share, against USD 16.5 million, or USD 0.15. Free Cash Flow was USD 10.5 million compared with USD 7.0 million, calculated from Operating Cash Flow of USD 18.8 million less Capital Expenditure of USD 8.9 million. Six-month revenue hit USD 344.7 million, up 27% from USD 271.3 million. The USD 8.76 quote sits 22.48% below the calculated prior close.

The Rationale: Guidance, Revisions and General Context

No published coverage has identified the reason for the decline. The release gave no third-quarter outlook, only a full-year range, so basic arithmetic on published numbers matters: subtracting six-month revenue of USD 344.7 million from the USD 670 million to USD 690 million range implies USD 325.3 million to USD 345.3 million for the second half, or roughly USD 162.7 million to USD 172.7 million a quarter, versus USD 178.7 million just reported (calculated). Second-half adjusted EBITDA would be USD 64.7 million to USD 74.7 million, against USD 80.3 million in the first half (calculated). The company also revised earlier statements, noting revenue share expense was understated by USD 3.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which it considered not material. For broader context, shares can fall after strong results when guidance implies slower growth than the market priced in, or when a revision raises accounting questions. These are general mechanisms, not confirmed causes.

Valuation, Liquidity and Risks for Digital Turbine

The company held USD 51.6 million in cash and restricted cash on September 30, 2026, against total Debt of about USD 353.6 million, down from about USD 361.0 million at March 31, 2026. Published market data from October 20, 2026 put Market Value at USD 1.19 billion on 121.02 million shares, with a 20-day average Volume of 2,828,862 shares, a five-year Beta of 3.03 and an average analyst target of USD 17.00 from four analysts. At USD 8.76 the market value would be around USD 1.06 billion (calculated). Pre-market volume is light, spreads can be wide and a small number of trades can set the indicated price, so the open may differ sharply. Debt is roughly 2.4 times the USD 150 million guidance midpoint for adjusted EBITDA (calculated). Reversal risk is typical of pre-market gaps, and nothing here implies the move will persist.

Where Things Stand

Digital Turbine (NASDAQ:APPS) is down 22.48% pre-market on November 10, 2026, even though results showed 27% revenue growth and 46% higher adjusted EBITDA, and no published reason for the selling has surfaced. The full-year guidance implies a softer second-half run rate than the quarter just reported, which is one calculated possibility rather than a confirmed cause. Pre-market trading is thin and prices can reverse at the open.
