These Analysts Cut Their Forecasts On Trade Desk Following Weak Revenue

The Trade Desk, Inc. TTD reported worse-than-expected quarterly revenue results on Wednesday.

Trade Desk reported quarterly earnings of 59 cents per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 56 cents. Quarterly revenue came in at $741.01 million, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $758.93 million.

"The Trade Desk once again outpaced nearly every segment of digital advertising in 2024, delivering $2.4 billion of revenue – marking accelerated growth of 26% year over year – and a record $12 billion of spend on our platform. At the same time, we achieved significant profitability and cash flow. While we are proud of these accomplishments, we are disappointed that we fell short of our own expectations in the fourth quarter," said Jeff Green, CEO of The Trade Desk.

The Trade Desk expects first-quarter revenue to be more than $575 million, versus the $591.8 million estimate.

Trade Desk shares gained 1.7% to close at $122.23 on Wednesday.
