Heading into today, shares of the digital-advertising platform operator had lost 1.15% over the past month, lagging the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 6.42% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.82% in that time.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $155.09 million, up 38.06% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.93 per share and revenue of $649.96 million, which would represent changes of +8.52% and +36.18%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for TTD. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. 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.
