Prior to today's trading, shares of the digital-advertising platform operator had gained 8.02% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 8.21% and the S&P 500's gain of 8.35% in that time.
The Trade Desk will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be August 9, 2022. In that report, analysts expect The Trade Desk to post earnings of $0.21 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 16.67%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $365.25 million, up 30.46% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $1 per share and revenue of $1.58 billion. These totals would mark changes of +9.89% and +31.86%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for The Trade Desk should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
