The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 31.76%, on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement:

Factors to Consider

The Trade Desk’s top line, in the second quarter, is expected to have benefited from the momentum in programmatic ad buying. Robust Connected-TV (“CTV”) spending is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Consistent customer retention is expected to have perked up the company’s revenues during the quarter. The Trade Desk’s customer-retention rate has remained more than 95% in the recent period.

Growing adoption of UID2 bodes well for The Trade Desk. Moreover, an expanding partner base is noteworthy. In the previous quarter, The Trade Desk inked a partnership with InfoSum and AppLovin.

However, accelerated spending is expected to have hurt The Trade Desk’s bottom-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
