On September 4, Trade Desk Inc. fell 5.04% in regular trading, trading at $14.33 per share, with turnover of $145 million. The decline was primarily triggered by the company's announcement of a plan to reduce its total workforce by approximately 15%.

According to a regulatory filing with the SEC, Trade Desk Inc. disclosed that most of the layoffs are expected to be completed during the third quarter. The company estimates that restructuring cash expenditures related to severance pay and associated benefits will range between $39 million and $51 million. Notably, this estimate covers only cash-based costs and does not include non-cash items such as equity compensation or other potential charges.

The announcement comes amid a challenging period for the company. Trade Desk Inc. reported disappointing Q2 results in early August, with adjusted EPS of $0.34 missing the consensus estimate of $0.40 and revenue of $715 million falling short of the $751 million estimate. Multiple analysts have since downgraded the stock, with BNP Paribas cutting its rating to Underperform with a $10 target, and Baird downgrading to Neutral with a $9 target. Meanwhile, the company recently launched its Kokai Zuma platform update featuring agentic AI capabilities, which had briefly lifted sentiment earlier this week.
