-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
TTD posted Q1 revenue growth of 12% to $689M, beating our 10% forecast, though profitability faced significant pressure with adjusted EBITDA margin declining 400bp to 30% from 34% and non-GAAP EPS falling 15% to $0.28, missing $0.32 consensus. The company maintained strong customer retention above 95% and generated robust operating cash flow of $392M, up 35%, supporting continued capital return activities. We are growing increasingly concerned about recent deceleration amid high management turnover and the ongoing Publicis dispute alleging unauthorized fees, hidden markups, and forced opt-ins, plus intensifying competitive pressures from Amazon. Q2 guidance disappointed with revenue of at least $750M (10%-11% growth) and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $260M, both meaningfully below consensus expectations of $770M and $291M respectively. The balance sheet remained robust with $1.4B in cash and cash equivalents with no debt, supporting share repurchases of $164M during the quarter.
