APPLOVIN CORPORATION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the generative AI video creative feature for the company's AppLovin Ads platform was subject to significant development delays, making its release on AppLovin's timeline unlikely; (2) AppLovin overstated the rate of its improvements to its AI models, in turn causing the benefits and reliability of its value proposition of its AI models to be unreliable; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why did AppLovin's Stock Drop?

On July 13, 2026, a Bank of America Securities analyst published a note stating that "AppLovin's eCommerce footprint expanded at a slower pace in June" and "[w]eekly data has not shown a clear uptick since AppLovin [Ads] opened to all eComm advertisers on 6/22, suggesting a muted GA start." Accordingly, Bank of America Securities lowered its estimate for AppLovin's annual revenue.  On this news, AppLovin's stock price dropped $64.13 per share, or 12.6%, from a closing price of $506.80 per share on July 10, 2026, to close at $442.85 per share on July 13, 2026.

Then, on August 5, 2026, AppLovin reported its financial results for the quarter and revealed, among other things, revenue below consensus estimates. AppLovin attributed the poor results, in part, to delays in the roll out of AppLovin Ads' generative AI video creation tool, which led to lower-than-expected AppLovin Ads revenue and hampered AppLovin's AI "model performance[.]" On this news, AppLovin's stock price dropped $82.13 per share, or 19.6%, from a closing price of $417.80 per share on August 5, 2026, to close at $335.67 per share on August 6, 2026.

WHAT APPLOVIN CORPORATION INVESTORS CAN DO NOW:

- File to be lead plaintiff by November 16, 2026.

- Contact KTMC for a free case evaluation. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you.

- Retain counsel of choice or take no action.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR APPLOVIN CORPORATION INVESTORS:

AppLovin investors may, no later than November 16, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors.

New Hadrian partnership bringing world-class, commercial-style manufacturing technology to accelerate production of critical munitions

DALLAS, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) today announced plans to create 6,000 jobs across the United States including 2,000 in Texas, as the company expands advanced manufacturing capacity to accelerate production of critical munitions.

At the center of that growth is Lockheed Martin's Grand Prairie operation, where the company is investing $300 million and expanding its manufacturing footprint to more than 735,000 square feet. The expansion includes 100,000 square feet of new space and 85,000 square feet of office space being transformed for advanced manufacturing, creating additional capacity for automation, digital manufacturing and high-precision machining.

The company also announced today that Hadrian will bring an innovative, highly automated machining cell to the Grand Prairie facility, operated by the world-class Lockheed Martin production workforce. Expected to be operational in early 2027, the 24-machine cell will bring commercial-style manufacturing technology directly into Lockheed Martin's production environment and add dedicated capacity for critical defense components.

THE BIG PICTURE

Lockheed Martin is building a manufacturing model designed for speed, scale and sustained production, bringing together the best of defense and commercial manufacturing to build a more resilient, automated and digitally integrated production model designed to deliver critical capabilities faster. The new Hadrian cell is the latest example of that strategy. It follows Lockheed Martin's recently announced collaboration with GM Defense to apply commercial automotive manufacturing expertise to defense production.

EXPERT PERSPECTIVE

"This expansion is more than just a new facility; it is a stronger supply chain and a more resilient industrial base," said Michael P. Duffey, Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment. "Today in Grand Prairie, American industry is answering the call to support our warfighters."

"Lockheed Martin has brought together commercial speed and combat-proven performance because America needs both," said Jim Taiclet, chairman, president and CEO of Lockheed Martin. "By combining advanced technology with the expertise of our American workforce, we're transforming manufacturing to deliver critical munitions at speed and scale."

"The warfighter can't wait on peacetime timelines. Hadrian is bringing the automation, software and workforce training from our own factories directly inside Lockheed Martin, so we can produce more, faster. Rebuilding the Arsenal of Freedom at the scale America needs will take partnerships that combine expertise and speed, and this is what that looks like," said Chris Power, CEO of Hadrian.

WHY IT MATTERS

- Delivering critical munitions: Lockheed Martin's Grand Prairie facility supports all Missiles and Fire Control programs, including PAC-3 MSE, THAAD, PrSM and JATM. The expansion and partnership announced today will help Grand Prairie reach record production levels and deliver components to final-assembly sites including Camden, Arkansas, and Troy, Alabama.

- Investing ahead of demand: The $300 million investment in this expansion is part of the company's broader commitment to invest $8–9 billion through 2030 to scale munitions production and modernize or expand more than 20 facilities across the United States.

- Building a manufacturing model that can scale: Lockheed Martin is combining a highly skilled workforce with automation, digital manufacturing, precision machining and commercial manufacturing practices to increase capacity and strengthen the defense industrial base.

- Creating greater predictability: Working with Department of War leadership, Lockheed Martin is applying commercially inspired contracting approaches through landmark agreements for PAC-3 MSE, THAAD, PrSM and JATM. These agreements provide greater predictability to invest in people, equipment and supply chains while accelerating production and delivery.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

- The Grand Prairie facility is already home to hundreds of critical machining and advanced manufacturing assets, and Lockheed Martin is rapidly adding even more capacity. In just a few months, the company has transformed former office space into advanced manufacturing areas and installed more than 30 additional high-precision machines now producing thousands of critical components each week.

- By the end of 2026, Lockheed Martin expects to have added nearly 100 new advanced machines across the facility.

- Nearly 800 production employees currently work at the facility which manufactured 250,000 parts in 2025.

- Today's announcement with Hadrian follows the signing of a seven-year agreement signed by both companies in 2025.

About Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin is a global defense technology company driving innovation and advancing scientific discovery. Our all-domain mission solutions and 21st Century Security® vision accelerate the delivery of transformative technologies to ensure those we serve always stay ahead of ready. More information at Lockheedmartin.com. 

About Hadrian

Hadrian is rebuilding America's industrial base with highly automated factories that combine process engineering, AI, and robotics. Its mission is to help space and defense manufacturers produce full programs at scale in the U.S. while giving American workers the tools to compete globally.

The company operates four facilities covering just under 3 million square feet: two in Torrance, California, and newly launched sites in Arizona and Alabama, with additional sites in development across the country. More information at https://www.hadrian.co/.

The event will bring together correctional and healthcare leaders to examine the Mississippi Department of Corrections' success in suicide reduction and lessons for correctional systems nationwide

JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Correctional Association (ACA) today announced Insights for Impact, the first national summit coming to Mississippi in early 2027 to examine the Mississippi Department of Corrections' (MDOC) progress in reducing suicide and to explore how lessons from that experience can inform suicide prevention efforts across correctional systems nationwide.

The summit will bring together correctional and healthcare leaders, behavioral health experts, and community partners for a national dialogue on suicide prevention in corrections. Through data-driven discussions and firsthand perspectives, participants will examine the strategies, practices, implementation approaches, and systems-level changes that can help correctional system identify opportunities for meaningful and sustainable progress.

"Since 2021, the Mississippi Department of Corrections has made measurable progress in reducing suicide within its correctional system, with 11 deaths in 2021 compared to only 2 deaths so far in this 2026 calendar year—an 82% reduction," said Robert Green, executive director of the American Correctional Association. "These numbers reflect the impact of sustained attention, system-level strategies, stronger behavioral health efforts, and a commitment to identifying and addressing the factors that contribute to suicide in correctional environments. Insights for Impact will give correctional and healthcare leaders an opportunity to examine that data, understand what contributed to this progress, and consider how those lessons may inform suicide prevention efforts in systems across the country."

Insights for Impact will feature new findings and outcome data from Mississippi, giving participants an opportunity to examine the progress made by the MDOC and the factors behind it. The summit will explore the role of behavioral healthcare, screening and assessment, crisis intervention, data and analytics, staff training, community partnerships, continuity of care, and other components of a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention in correctional settings.

The conversation will extend beyond identifying promising practices to examine what it takes to put them into action. Sessions will address leadership and culture change, staff engagement, suicide prevention protocols, clinical treatment pathways, and other strategies that can strengthen prevention efforts and improve outcomes. By bringing together leaders and practitioners from across the country, the summit will create a forum for examining not only what has changed in Mississippi, but how correctional systems can translate lessons learned into sustainable practices within their own facilities.

The MDOC, in partnership with its statewide healthcare provider VitalCore, has implemented a range of initiatives to strengthen behavioral healthcare and suicide prevention throughout Mississippi's correctional facilities. As part of that effort, MDOC and VitalCore brought in certified trainers from the ACA to provide Correctional Behavioral Health Certificaion (CBHC) training, equipping correctional and behavioral health staff with essential skills for identifying, managing, and responding to mental health needs.

"You can't let people kill themselves, and VitalCore really improved our behavioral health programs to a point where people can learn to control their emotions and be a stable person," said MDOC Commissioner Burl Cain. "In doing so, we're reducing suicide, we're reducing stress in the prisons, and we're making the prisons safer. We've created an environment for change."

Insights for Impact will conclude with a national discussion on the future of correctional suicide prevention, emphasizing continued collaboration among correctional leadership, healthcare professionals, facility staff, and the ACA to strengthen practices and protect the health and safety of individuals in custody.

"I've looked back on my time in Mississippi, and the most important thing of all was Governor Tate Reeves because he brought me here," said Cain. "He wanted to see his prison system change for the better because he got elected to benefit Mississippi. He's brought massive industry to Mississippi, but he also brought peace and harmony to his prisons."

A pre-summit presentation of the work will be held during the ACA Winter Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, January 7–10, 2027. Additional information regarding the date, location, speakers, and registration for the Insights for Impact Summit will be announced at a later date.

About American Correctional Association

The American Correctional Association (ACA) stands as a leading voice in professional corrections. Rooted in a commitment to public safety, human dignity, and evidence-based practices, ACA promotes excellence in correctional management through accreditation, education, research, and advocacy. It serves as a unifying force for correctional professionals across the nation and around the globe, fostering accountability, leadership, and continuous improvement.

Pioneer of The Healthy Skin Movement™ to present its patented technology platform and $5 million SEED capital opportunity at the Global Capital Network Investor Conference on October 15, 2026.

DALLAS and FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hi-TECH Beauty Labs, Corp. (HTBL) announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,642,834 B2 for B3 Technology®, a 100% natural botanical innovation designed to address problem skin without benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, adapalene or retinol.

Built at the intersection of Silicon Valley high technology, skin cell science, and botanicals, HTBL is advancing skincare innovation through its brand SkinKick® and a proprietary technology platform.

HTBL will present its commercialization strategy and capital opportunity at the Global Capital Network Investor Conference on October 15, 2026, in Newport Beach, California.

From Silicon Valley to Skincare

Founded by Matthew J. Schirle, a former international semiconductor executive and Chemical Engineer, HTBL applies engineering principles and root-cause analysis to skincare challenges. Chief Science Officer, Dr. D. William Provance, PhD, is the inventor of HTBL's technologies, including B3 Technology®.

Their exclusive SkinViNO™ Process Innovation — Vitamins, Nutrients and Omegas — guides ingredient selection through a focus on skin-cell biology.

SkinKick® brings this approach to consumers with its CLEAR + RENEW + PROTECT philosophy for skin and barrier care.

B3 Technology® — A Patented Botanical Platform

Issued June 2, 2026, U.S. Patent No. 12,642,834 B2 protects B3 Technology®, incorporating Black Willow Bark (Salix nigra), Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) and Dragon's Blood (Croton lechleri).

The HTBL technology platform supports alternatives to harsh acid-based formulations for problem skin and aging skin enabling potential licensing opportunities with established beauty companies.

Pioneering The Healthy Skin Movement™

"We didn't enter the beauty industry to create another harsh acid-based skincare brand. We entered to challenge conventional thinking and deliver outrageously effective and natural products" said Schirle. "We treat your skin like a garden and not a test ground for a chemical factory".

"My semiconductor background taught me to identify root causes, challenge assumptions and develop better solutions. Dr. Provance's inventions bring that vision to life.

"We recognized and leveraged the fact that the architecture of a semiconductor memory cell is nearly identical to that of a human skin pore which led to the 2-Step Acne Model Innovation.

"This first patent is an important milestone, but our vision is bigger: pioneering The Healthy Skin Movement™ and challenging the belief that "pain is gain" in skincare.

"Our mission is to Replace Pain with Performance™ and deliver Self-Esteem in a Bottle™."

Technology, Commercialization and Growth

HTBL plans to scale SkinKick® while licensing proprietary technologies to beauty and personal-care companies.

The company is pursuing a $5 million SEED Round to accelerate digital commerce, distribution and technology commercialization.

Schirle will present HTBL's investment opportunity on October 15, 2026, at the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel.

The Global Capital Network conference connects emerging companies with investors and capital providers.

ABOUT HI-TECH BEAUTY LABS

Born in Dallas, Texas, Hi-TECH Beauty Labs, Corp. (HTBL) is pioneering The Healthy Skin Movement™ with its technology platform built at the intersection of Silicon Valley high TECHNOLOGY, skin cell SCIENCE, and natural BOTANICALS.

Powered by its proprietary SkinViNO™ Process and patented B3 Technology®, HTBL is reimagining skincare through Naturally Smart® innovations that are replacing industry-standard harsh AHA acids and harmful chemicals — including industry darlings benzoyl peroxide and retinol — with clinically studied, outrageously effective, 100% natural botanical technologies.

Work4Flow Launches Agentic AI Knowledge Article Optimizer to Improve Search Relevancy on the ServiceNow AI Platform

ServiceNow-native application connects search behavior with AI-powered knowledge optimization to improve discoverability and prepare enterprise content for agentic AI

CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Work4Flow, a ServiceNow Premier Partner focused on enterprise AI adoption and workflow transformation, today announced the launch of its Knowledge Article Optimizer with Search Relevancy, a ServiceNow-native solution that helps organizations identify where users struggle to find answers, improve the knowledge behind those searches, and prepare enterprise content for AI experiences.

Organizations invest heavily in building and maintaining knowledge bases, yet employees, customers, and AI agents can still struggle to find and use the right information. An article may contain the correct answer but still fail if the language, structure, metadata, or search signals do not align with the way people ask for help or how AI systems retrieve and interpret enterprise knowledge.

Search Relevancy analyzes real user searches and returns knowledge results to identify poorly performing queries, relevance gaps, and articles that need semantic attention. Knowledge Article Optimizer then evaluates selected content against organizational standards, configured templates, readability criteria, and content quality requirements, providing field-level scoring and AI-generated recommendations for review.

The solution uses AI agents to evaluate article quality, identify content gaps, and generate optimized versions of titles, descriptions, metadata, and article body content. This helps knowledge teams create content that is structured for human use and ready to support AI-driven interactions across ServiceNow.

Content owners remain in control of every change. Once approved content is updated, teams can re-run the search and evaluate how the article performs against the original user intent, creating a continuous cycle of search analysis, content improvement, human review, validation, and AI readiness. The solution supports a closed-loop workflow that helps knowledge teams identify search friction, prioritize content based on user behavior and support impact, optimize the right articles, and validate improvements after changes are made.

"Across 250+ AI deployments, one truth stands out: AI rarely fails because of the model; it fails because of the content behind it," said Sanjay K. Gupta, Founder and CEO of Work4Flow. "That's why we built Knowledge Article Optimizer with Search Relevancy to connect search signals directly to the knowledge lifecycle."

That same workflow creates a stronger foundation for agentic AI enablement. ServiceNow Otto and AI search rely on enterprise knowledge to generate relevant, context-aware responses. AI agents also depend on content they can retrieve, interpret, and act with confidence. Knowledge Article Optimizer helps teams improve that underlying content so it can support self-service, generative AI, AI search, and agentic workflows across the ServiceNow AI Platform.

Knowledge Article Optimizer operates directly within ServiceNow and supports configurable evaluation criteria, knowledge templates, field-level recommendations, human review and approval, content versioning, and an integrated workspace for evaluating and enhancing articles.

Revinate launches hospitality's first data activation platform

Revinate Pathways, Revinate Vault, and the latest Revinate Chat release lead a wave of launches that turn guest data into predictions and revenue

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Revinate today became hospitality's first data activation platform, with the global launch of Revinate Pathways, Revinate Vault, and the latest version of Revinate Chat. These releases reflect how AI is changing hospitality technology: hotels want systems that deliver results, not software to manage, and guests expect offers built for them, not for a segment.

That is what a data activation platform does. A CRM stores guest records. A customer data platform (CDP) unifies them. A data activation platform adds intelligence and execution: it predicts what each guest needs next and acts while intent is still live. Revinate does all three on one platform, with Ivy, its AI intelligence layer, running across every product. Hotels set the goals, and Revinate executes to deliver the outcomes and revenue.

"For 17 years, we've helped hotels clean up and unify their guest data," said Bryson Koehler, CEO of Revinate. "Today, we advance those foundational capabilities with a greater focus on automated outcomes. Revinate Pathways, Revinate Vault, and Revinate Chat put what a hotel knows about its guests and its properties to work in the moments that decide a booking, and they get sharper every time a guest responds."

AI adoption is outpacing results. In h2c's AI Opportunity Study 2026, 91% of hotel chains said they use AI, but only 13% reported a measurable return on investment so far. Revinate customers are seeing the opposite: 60% report an ROI of 20X or more on the platform, and today's launches advance Revinate's move into the enterprise segment, where major hotel brands are already customers.

Revinate Pathways: marketing that follows the guest

Revinate Pathways replaces batch-and-blast email with automated journeys across email and SMS that fire on real guest events, from booking and check-in to birthdays and abandoned carts, and branch on how each guest responds. Built-in consent controls keep SMS compliant, and Revinate Insights reports the room nights, reservations, and outlet spend every journey drove. WhatsApp will also be available in Pathways by the end of this year, so hotels can reach guests on the channel they prefer.

Revinate Vault: one source of truth for the property

Revinate Vault is the single source of truth for a hotel's property and brand information. Hotels upload their documents, from spa hours to cancellation policies, and Ivy reads them and fills in the details automatically. At launch, Vault powers Revinate Chat so guests get answers with property-specific accuracy and in the hotel's own tone of voice. Next, Vault will hold the settings Pathways runs on, then extend to Revinate Feedback and Reservation Sales, so a change made once updates everywhere.

Revinate Chat: every question becomes a signal

First announced at HITEC 2026 in June, Revinate Chat resolves up to 80% of routine guest questions automatically, drawing on Revinate Vault. The latest version connects Chat to Pathways: Chat links in pre-arrival and welcome messages, including by SMS, let guests reach the hotel the moment a question comes up, and every question adds to their profile.

The data advantage

Hotel data is messy: duplicated, half-finished, and scattered across systems never built to talk to each other. Revinate Core, Revinate's customer data platform, resolves records from hundreds of integrated systems into Rich Guest Profile® data covering 1.25 billion guest profiles.

On that foundation sits Revinate's synthetic data engine. It learns from guest behavior at scale and is built to anticipate when a guest is likely to travel, then match them with the right room at the right price, so hotels capture the booking before the search begins.

"AI is only as smart as the data it runs on," said David Stephens, CTO of Revinate. "Point a generic AI model at duplicated, scattered hotel records and it guesses. With our hospitality-specific AI model, we resolve identity first. A guest who books a room, a table, and a spa treatment is one guest in Revinate, not three. The synthetic data engine learns from behavior, never personal details, which lets us model demand at a scale no single hotel could reach while protecting every guest's privacy."

Availability: Revinate Pathways, Revinate Vault, and Revinate Chat are available today. Hotels can book a demo at revinate.com/demo.
