Jefferies Downgrades Trade Desk |
Jefferies downgrades ad-tech vendor Trade Desk (TTD, $241.56) to ‘Hold’ with a price target of $250. While still a fan of the fundamental growth story, the firm says the current valuation fully reflects the bullish case for the stock, which is up five-fold since early 2018.
While Jefferies sees connected TV and international expansion as the next key growth drivers for Trade Desk, the firm doesn’t think these initiatives will drive up estimates enough to justify a higher valuation.
For 2019, the consensus revenue estimate of $649.5 million represents growth of 36.1%. The Street-high estimate is $657 million.
The stock’s all-time high of $257.99 was reached in the middle of June.
