Вывод Buzzberg

CPG and auto weakness reduced growth by at least 5 percentage points

The Trade Desk reported solid Q4 but guided to a sharply decelerating Q1 2026, attributing the slowdown to macro weakness in CPG and auto verticals. Management emphasized its competitive strength against walled gardens like Amazon and highlighted new AI-driven products like Audience Unlimited as key future growth levers. Q4 2025 revenue grew 14% YoY to $847M, or 19% excluding political; FY2025 revenue was $2.9B, up 18%.
