On August 6, Trade Desk Inc. fell 11.49% in after-hours trading, with turnover of $77.0243 million. The company released its Q2 earnings report after market close, with results significantly below market expectations, triggering heavy selling pressure.
Ahead of the report, Wedbush had projected Q2 revenue growth of 9% year-on-year to $757 million, slightly above the consensus estimate of $752 million, and EPS of $0.40 in line with expectations. However, actual results fell materially short. Additionally, the company faces long-term structural headwinds, including pressure to improve fee transparency and platform compliance following its dispute with Publicis, which may increase costs and erode its competitive pricing advantage. Arete Research had previously downgraded the stock to Sell with a target price of just $11.60.
