Heading into today, shares of the company had lost 9.04% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 3.51% and the S&P 500's gain of 3.62% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $225.90 million, down 1.88% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.42 per share and revenue of $980.21 million, which would represent changes of -2.81% and +1.53%, respectively, from the prior year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for CRTO. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
