    Trade Desk (TTD) just broadened its connected TV reach in Italy with new Skydance Pause Ads on HBO Max and discovery+, giving advertisers another way to reach streaming viewers without interrupting shows.

    The Trade Desk share price has been under clear pressure, with a 90 day share price return down 33% and the year to date share price return down 68%, while the 1 year total shareholder return has declined 77%. Fresh CTV deals like the Skydance Pause Ads launch may be watched as potential signs that sentiment on the business model could eventually stabilise, rather than as an immediate catalyst for a rebound.

    Scan beyond Trade Desk's recent slide and see how other advertising and media platforms with stronger momentum or different risk profiles stack up in our hand picked 33 high quality undervalued stocks list.

    After a slide this steep, Trade Desk starts to look less like a high flyer and more like a reset story. Does the current price still stack up against the risks on offer?

    Most Popular Narrative: 58% Undervalued

    Trade Desk’s most followed narrative pins fair value at $29.24 against the latest close at $12.23, so the reset in the share price is being framed as overdone rather than a permanent downgrade.

    Revenue has slowed as they have seen increased competition and tightened ad spend, however it is still net income positive. The year-on-year metrics in particular have slowed (+235% in 2023 vs +12.8% in 2025). They have had double-digit growth over the last five years and profitability increased in 2024 with their partnerships bringing in new revenue streams. Importantly, 82% of their revenue comes from the US.

    The Risks

    Competition: Amazon is a significant threat as it has the money, resources and drive to take away audience and increase expansions into other markets.

    Growth: has declined and analysts expect this to level out to 10% per year as their moat reduces in size.

    Costs: infrastructure is going to be the hardest thing to turn around as they rely more and more on AI. Without Google, Amazon or Meta infrastructure, they will be paying a higher price for the same expectations as their competitors.
