The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD): Another Beat/Raise, PT to $56 - Needham & Company

Needham & Company analyst, Kerry Rice, reiterated his Buy rating on shares of The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) and raised the price target to $56 after the company printed a 1Q17 blowout with new customer wins and mobile as the primary drivers.

TTD reported strong 1Q17 results with revenue of $53.4M, a 76% y/y increase and above consensus of $43.3M, primarily driven by new customer wins, international expansion, and significant mobile growth.

Despite heavy investment in hiring, and in high-growth areas, such as mobile, video, and international expansion, the company reported profitability upside as a result of the higher revenue with Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $6.3M, above consensus of $0.4M, representing margin of 11.8%.

The analyst stated "TTD's outperformance and deep relationships lead agencies to direct more of their clients to TTD. These new customers in turn drive incremental revenue in future quarters, creating a virtuous cycle."

The new PT of $56 is up from $48.
