Trade Desk Stock Plunge Sparks Analyst Optimism for Rebound
Digital advertising technology firm Trade Desk (TTD) has seen its shares plummet to $53, a staggering 63% decline from its 52-week high of $141.53. Despite this sharp correction, the company continues to demonstrate robust growth, leaving analysts bullish on its long-term prospects.
The selloff accelerated following Q2 earnings, as investors fixated on near-term macroeconomic headwinds and softer guidance. CEO Jeff Green's comments about tariff-related uncertainties affecting major global advertisers—TTD's Core clientele—further rattled the market. Q3 revenue projections of 'at least' $717 million suggest growth slowing to mid-teens from Q2's 19% pace.
Yet beneath the surface turbulence, Trade Desk maintains its innovative edge and loyal customer base. At current valuations, the stock appears undervalued relative to its growth trajectory. 'Standby for a bounce,' advises one analyst, noting the company's fundamental strengths remain intact despite temporary headwinds.
