1. The Trade Desk Inc (NASDAQ:TTD)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 63

The Trade Desk Inc (NASDAQ:TTD) is a tech company that specializes in programmatic advertising.

The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 as it reported Q4 2024 revenue that missed its own guidance. Revenue came in at $741 million and missed guidance of $756 million. Analysts expected that it would post $760 million. This is the first revenue miss from the company in 33 quarters.

It also gave weak Q1 2025 guidance. The Trade Desk projected revenue of $575 million and adjusted EBITDA of $145 million, both below market expectations of $582 million in revenue and $193 million in EBITDA.

The company attributed the miss to execution challenges during the rollout of its AI-powered platform called Kokai.

In response, there have been multiple class action lawsuits against The Trade Desk. They allege false or misleading statements regarding its Kokai rollout.

The consensus price target of $119.45 implies 79.51% upside.

TTD stock is down 43.38% year-to-date.
