Here is what Baron Funds specifically said about The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD)  in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) is the leading internet advertising demand-side platform, enabling agencies and companies to buy and track digital advertising. The company reported 35% growth in sales, a terrific result in a softening advertising market, and the shares rose. EBITDA margins were 37% in the quarter, and cash flow also beat expectations. The company is benefiting from the growth in advertising on Connected TV and advertisers’ desire to work with Trade Desk, as a neutral service provider, as opposed to Google who does not share critical data with its partners/advertisers. Also, Netflix announced that it would be offering a tier of service that includes advertising, which is a seminal moment in the development of digital advertising and a big growth opportunity for Trade Desk. Though it is an expensive stock on near-term estimates, we believe Trade Desk can continue to compound its EBITDA and EPS at a 25% to 30% clip into the future, creating significant value in time.”
