MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Trade Desk
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Trade Desk, Inc.:

  • The stock is trading at $13.97, which represents a significant discount to its 52-week high of $56.39, potentially offering a deep value entry point for investors who believe the market has overreacted to recent negative news.
  • The company is generating substantial cash relative to the broader market, and a valuation-focused analysis suggests that The Trade Desk, Inc. may be trading at a significant discount that could support the stock if management's restructuring improves growth and profitability.
  • Royal Bank Of Canada reaffirmed a "sector perform" rating with a $15.00 price target, indicating that some analysts see potential upside of approximately 8.19% from the current price level despite the broader bearish sentiment.
  • The Trade Desk, Inc. provides a demand-side platform that enables advertisers to plan, purchase, and measure ad inventory across digital channels, including connected TV, which remains a growing segment in the digital advertising landscape.
  • With a P/E ratio of 16.63, the company's valuation is relatively low compared to its historical levels, which may attract value-oriented investors looking for technology stocks with established cash flows.

Trade Desk
Bear Case

  • Recent earnings showed a miss in both EPS and revenue, with Q2 2026 EPS of $0.34 missing consensus estimates of $0.40 and revenue of $715.06 million falling short of the expected $752.41 million, highlighting challenges in meeting market expectations.
