Should Investors Buy The Trade Desk Stock Before Earnings?
Key Points Its stock is on the road to recovery after a massive decline. The Trade Desk stands out by serving as a neutral, AI-driven ad buying platform. Valuations are rising but may still be at a level that could attract new investors. 10 stocks we like better than The Trade Desk › Many investors will undoubtedly focus on the second-quarter 2025 earnings for The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD). The company's earnings report for the fourth quarter of 2024 prompted a massive sell-off in the stock that led to a decline of almost 70% over a four-month period. The stock recovered some of its lost value, particularly after the release of earnings for Q1. Still, valuations have also risen again, leading to questions about what will happen after the Q2 report. Knowing that, should investors buy this stock before earnings, or should investors stay on the sidelines until after the report? The Trade Desk advantage The Trade Desk has become one of the leading buy-side digital advertising platforms. The DSP (demand-side platform) leverages data to help advertisers and ad agencies find the platforms where it believes a specific ad will be most effective and facilitates programmatic ad buying. It has improved the platform since introducing its Kokai ad purchasing platform. Unlike the previous platform, Solimar, Kokai utilizes generative AI and includes attributes such as forecast media budgets, quality reach measurement, and retail measurement data to give users a more holistic and precise approach to ad buying. Additionally, the Trade Desk serves as a neutral platform. Although Google parent Alphabet also offers a DSP, it directs ad buyers to Google ads. In contrast, The Trade Desk will search for ad space outside of Google, opening customers to a broader array of choices. Why the focus? The Trade Desk's approach led to stock price returns of almost 2,800% since its September 2016 IPO. With that, it had beaten revenue estimates for 32 consecutive quarters. Nonetheless, that came to an end in February when the company reported its earnings for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the full year. This report stood out because the company missed its own revenue estimate for the first time. That sent the stock falling by 30% following the report, and from that point, it lost approximately 50% of its remaining value at its low. Thus, investors focused heavily on its first-quarter earnings report, which came out in May. In that report, The Trade Desk returned to its usual practice of beating its own estimates, and the stock surged. Now, the stock sells just below $90 per share as of the time of this writing, placing it close to the middle of its 52-week trading range. For the second quarter of 2025, consensus analyst estimates forecast revenue of $686 million, a 17% annual increase if that prediction holds. That indicates the company will beat its own $682 million revenue estimates in Q2. Where The Trade Desk stands going into earnings So far, the stock is up by about 3% over the previous 12 months. However, it experienced a wild ride, as it began the year coming off a two-year bull run that started in late 2022. When the stock peaked at more than $141 per share late last year, one could argue it was overvalued. Just before the critical Q4 report came out on February 12, the P/E ratio of 157 and the forward P/E of 69 seemed to have priced the stock for perfection. Now, after coming off its lows in April, the stock remains expensive, though not to the same degree. Its current P/E is around 107, while its forward earnings multiple is at 49, slightly below its 54 average since January 2023. This will also be the first report since The Trade Desk joined the S&P 500 on July 18. That was bullish since it required all funds that track the index to acquire shares of the Trade Desk. Consequently, it sells near its highest price since the post-earnings sell-off in February, which could make investors hesitant to buy, particularly before the report. Should investors buy The Trade Desk stock before earnings? Under current conditions, The Trade Desk stock is likely a buy. Admittedly, the stock is not cheap, and it could pull back following the Q2 release. Nonetheless, The Trade Desk's recent inclusion in the S&P 500 is a clear bullish sign of its role in its industry. Moreover, its forward P/E ratio is slightly below average, and the company's growth is on track to continue. If one wants to buy before the report comes out, it might be best to begin taking positions, waiting to invest one's remaining allocation after the report's release. That strategy protects new shareholders from a possible sell-off while giving them exposure should the stock skyrocket after the report. Do the experts think The Trade Desk is a buy right now?

This Hoka Style Is The Best One For Walking
Over the past few years, Hoka has rightfully earned a spot in the conversation about the best brand for comfortable walking shoes. Known for their plush, 'cloudlike' cushion, Hoka models like the Clifton 9 have been previously declared hypeworthy by HuffPost shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe. But the Cliftons aren't the only shoes worth buying from the brand — in fact, my favorite model as a Hoka fan is one that tends to fly a little under the radar. And at $125 a pair, they're one of the cheapest Hoka sneakers available. First introduced in 2022, the Hoka Solimar is officially my favorite walking shoe — and that's coming from someone who loves Hokas so much, I once asked for a pair for my birthday. The Solimar has a balanced midsole that's forgiving, but still firm. The extended crash pad absorbs enough impact that I don't feel like I'm on a trampoline every time I take a walk (definitely a feeling I got wearing my old beloved Rincon 3s, which are now discontinued). I also appreciate the Solimar's stack height and thinner design. The support is evident, but the shoes don't look as bulbous from the top as some of the other Hoka models I've tried on before like the Bondi 8, whose cushioning flares out on the sides a bit. It gives the Solimars a sleeker appearance, and combined with their light, 6.7-ounce weight, they don't feel heavy on my feet. In the neutral white colorway I chose, they don't scream 'exercise shoe,' and don't look out of place paired with a dress or office-appropriate outfit. The soles are a durable, high-abrasion rubber that can last through daily use and are extra-padded in areas more likely to endure wear. The uppers are made of a breathable, recycled mesh, and the collar and tongue have padding that feels soft without rubbing uncomfortably against my ankles. I've put these to the test by taking them out for over 10,000-step walks on a pretty regular basis. They've served me well as a Manhattanite, from trekking hundreds of city blocks to even trudging up a hill's worth of old, rough stairs during a day trip to Governors Island. I've never had any soreness or foot pain during or after, which has helped me be more willing and motivated to get my steps in. While the Solimar is technically designed for running and training, according to Hoka, reviewers seem to agree that it's best suited for everyday wear including walking, and is great for people with plantar fasciitis. Some have purchased multiple pairs — and I'm pretty much certain that when I wear mine through, I'll be buying a second pair, too. Read on for some happy reviews left by Solimar devotees, and be prepared to want to snag a pair for yourself. Get the women's shoe from Zappos, Nordstrom, or Hoka for $125 (available in women's sizes 5–11, including wide sizes, and up to 13 colors). Get a men's pair from Zappos or Hoka for $81.25+ (originally $125; available in men's sizes 7–14, including wide sizes, and up to 11 colors).

DEADLINE TONIGHT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Trade Desk
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against The Trade Desk, Inc. ('Trade Desk' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: TTD) and reminds investors of the April 21, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi reminds investors of the Monday, April 21, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Trade Desk was experiencing significant, ongoing, self-inflicted execution challenges rolling out Kokai, including transitioning clients to Kokai from the Company's older platform Solimar; (2) such execution challenges meaningfully delayed the Kokai Rollout; (3) Trade Desk's inability to effectively execute the Kokai Rollout negatively impacted the Company's business and operations, particularly revenue growth; and (4) as a result of the above, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. The truth emerged after markets closed on February 12, 2025, when Trade Desk issued a press release reporting fourth quarter 2024 revenue of $741 million—below the Company's previously issued guidance of $756 million and analysts' estimates of $759.8 million. On an earnings call held the same day, the Company's CEO admitted that Trade Desk had not yet transitioned all of its clients to Kokai, and was still 'maintaining 2 systems, Solimar and Kokai.' The CEO further conceded that 'Kokai rolled out slower than anticipated,' but also 'in some cases, the slower Kokai rollout was deliberate.' On this news, the price of Trade Desk Class A common stock dropped $40.31 per share, or more than 32%, from a closing price of $122.23 per share on February 12, 2025, to a closing price of $81.92 per share on February 13, 2025.

Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
