The Trade Desk: Market Is Underestimating Long-Term Potential

Following the publication of my initiating coverage in early February 2026, TTD's stock price is down by another ~20%. Relative to its all-time high of $141.53 reached in December 2024, Trade Desk is now in the midst of a ~85% drawdown, by far the largest since its IPO. Trade Desk is currently trading at 9.7x the street's EPS consensus for 2027. Just 18 months ago, the same company was trading in excess of 75x forward earnings.
