The company is expected to report EPS of $0.79, up 46.3% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $148.18 million, up 44.36% from the prior-year quarter.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for TTD. 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.
