Market Focus08-05

On August 5, Zeta Global Holdings Corp. rose 5.52% in regular trading, trading at $27.89/share with turnover of $284 million, rebounding sharply from pre-market weakness following the release of Q2 earnings.

On the news front, the company reported Q2 revenue of $442.8 million, significantly exceeding the FactSet consensus estimate of $420.6 million, representing a 43.6% year-over-year increase from $308.4 million. GAAP EPS of $0.03 beat the breakeven estimate, swinging from a loss of $12.8 million a year earlier. The company raised Q3 revenue guidance to $469-$472 million, up $10 million at the midpoint from prior guidance, and boosted full-year revenue outlook to $1.811-$1.824 billion versus analysts' $1.79 billion estimate. Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $25 from $23, while the analyst consensus maintains a Buy rating with a mean target of $29.61.

While EPS declined 78.57% year-over-year and the stock initially sold off in after-hours trading on profit-taking, the strong top-line beat, upwardly revised guidance, and favorable analyst sentiment appear to have driven the intraday recovery during the regular session.
