Factors at Play in Q1
Trade Desk is witnessing increasing adoption of its unified ID solution. Notably, Sharethrough, TripleLift and Rubicon Project integrated the company’s unified ID solution into their digital advertising exchanges in first-quarter 2019.
The companies chose Trade Desk’s unified ID solution as it helps them enhance their digital match rates, improve their coverage, increase load times and help deliver more relevant advertising.
Additionally, shift in advertising budget from Linear TV to Connected TV (CTV) is likely to accelerate growth for the CTV business in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, the robust growth of Trade Desk’s CTV platform, which grew nine times year over year in fourth-quarter 2018, is likely to have made the platform more attractive to advertisers.
Further, emergence of digital content is boosting the usage of the company’s inventory across all forms of CTV. Notably, the primary drivers of Trade Desk’s CTV inventory are media companies like CBS , ABC, ESPN and AME.
Also, the company’s share in China is expected to increase owing to its partnerships with Baidu Exchange Services, iQIYI and Tencent (TCEHY - Free Report) and the launch of programmatic ad-buying platform in China toward the end of first-quarter 2019.
Notably, through the partnerships, the company is helping advertisers reach premium audiences in China. Additionally, the company’s clients can tap into China using the same platform that they use for the rest of the world. This is expected to attract advertisers and boost their ad spend, thereby driving the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
