These Were Last Week’s 10 Worst Performers

2. The Trade Desk Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD)

The Trade Desk dropped its share prices by 31.6 percent week-on-week, finishing Friday at $80.16 apiece versus the $117.29 registered on February 7.

The drop followed a downgraded outlook from an analyst from Evercore ISI, cutting his rating to “hold” from “buy” previously due to mixed financial results and underperformance in key areas. Additionally, the analyst cut his price target for the company by 33 percent to $90 from $135 previously.

The downgrade came after TTD missed internal revenue expectations for the first time in eight years, with figures settling at $741 million, or lower than analyst consensus of $758 million and internal guidance of $756 million.

In a statement, TTD CEO Jeff Green acknowledged the company’s performance in 2024, but said that he was disappointed “for falling short of our expectations in the fourth quarter.”

“In 2025 and beyond, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients take full advantage of data-driven advertising on the premium internet, helping them drive growth and brand loyalty for their businesses,” he said.
