Trade Desk remains a highly competitive player in the programmatic advertising space driven by steadily increasing CTV viewership. While markets were initially disappointed by Netflix's decision, Trade Desk has proven to be a valuable partner to major streaming players such as Disney. The retail media side of the business is also picking up steam (
analysis here) with recently announced partnerships with Albertsons (
ACI) following earlier deals with Walmart (
WMT) and Walgreens (
WBA). UID2 has been gaining significant traction with
support from publishers, SSPs and data partners. Lastly, the new OpenPath initiative provides advertisers with direct access to publisher inventory right from the Trade Desk platform. While valuation remains a source of risk at 40x NTM earnings,
it is reasonably close to the March 2020 low of 36.5x. With the forward multiple being drastically de-rated from 127x in November 2021 to
40x today.
