Factors to Consider

Magnite’s first-quarter performance is expected to have suffered from increasing competition and seasonality in the business.

Declining momentum across all formats and device types, including connected Television (CTV), DV+, mobile, non-CTV video and display, is likely to have affected MGNI’s performance.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Magnite partnered with Mediaocean to bring deeper automation and greater supply path efficiency to the latter's Prisma buyers for CTV and online video. This is expected to have aided the company’s top-line growth.

In the last reported quarter, MGNI’s CTV revenues, excluding TAC, declined 2% year over year to $63.5 million. The company expects revenues between $49 million and $51 million in the first quarter.

CTV revenues suffered in the previous quarter, mainly due to mix shifts and managed service softness trends in the streaming market. This trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Contributions from a robust partner base, including the likes of Sling, Hulu, Pluto, Tubi, Discovery and Fox and device manufacturing companies like Roku and Samsung, are expected to have contributed to MGNI’s revenues in the quarter under review.
