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

Factors to Consider

The Trade Desk’s top-line growth in the second quarter is expected to have been backed by a significant increase in digital spending, primarily driven by a shift from linear TV to more premium alternatives like programmatic CTV.

The company is expected to have benefited from its expanding footprint in international markets across Europe and Asia.

The company is expected to have benefited from the growing adoption of its Unified ID 2.0, CTV and shopper marketing. UID2 allows advertisers to match their customer data, with accuracy, across the open Internet more effectively.

Higher spending and continuous innovation in the product pipeline have been a catalyst for The Trade Desk. The momentum is expected to have driven top-line growth.

Strong customer retention is expected to have pushed up the company’s revenues during the quarter.
