Company Report

The Trade Desk Earnings: New Partnerships Point to Continued Strong Revenue Growth

Continued strong advertising demand fueled growth at The Trade Desk during the first quarter. Total revenue increased 28% versus a year ago, modestly faster growth than that seen among ad behemoths Alphabet and Meta while handily outperforming Google’s ad network. While we expect ad spending growth will moderate in the coming quarters, we also expect TTD will continue to gain share. Our fair value estimate remains $52 per share. With the shares trading at 17 and 40 times our 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA estimates, respectively, we still believe the valuation is stretched.

Price vs Fair Value

TTD is trading at a 119% premium.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Advertisers will likely shift a percentage of their budgets from social media toward other website publishers, given the improving performance of contextual campaigns, increasing the need for demand-side platforms.

Bears

Growth will be limited in the fragmented non-Google demand-side platform market, given Google’s dominance with a 40% market share (according to Jounce Media). Amazon is also aggressively expanding in this market.
