On September 22, Trade Desk Inc. fell 5.12% in regular trading to $13.17 per share, with turnover of $2.35 billion. The decline came as multiple investment banks issued cautious assessments of the company.
Guggenheim raised its price target to $13 from $12 but maintained a Neutral rating. Evercore ISI adjusted its target to $14 while keeping an In Line rating, and RBC maintained a $15 target with a Sector Perform rating. The current consensus target price stands at $13.38, with an average Hold rating, reflecting a broadly cautious stance.
The company has been navigating significant headwinds following a Q2 earnings miss, where adjusted EPS of $0.34 fell short of the $0.40 estimate and revenue of $715 million missed the $751 million consensus. In September, Trade Desk announced a 15% workforce reduction of roughly 600 employees, expected to yield approximately $150 million in cost savings into the following year. Despite the launch of its Kokai Zuma platform update aimed at enhancing user experience and adding AI capabilities, the market remains skeptical about the company's ability to stabilize revenue growth.
