A bullish case for The Trade Desk arguing the stock is oversold at 70% down, AI ad-tech replacement is at least two years away, and 2026 midterm election ad spending will drive record financials.

TTD — LONG The author argues The Trade Desk is profitable with many partners, none of which have dropped it, yet the stock is down 70%, and that a viable AI program with real results for this use case likely won't exist for at least two years. He contends TTD could be first to adopt proven AI technology or simply acquire the company that builds it. The key catalyst he cites is the 2026 midterm elections, where heavy campaign spending from both parties should drive record financials for TTD, similar to the 2024 election cycle when the stock bottomed and doubled.

2026 is midterm guys, financials will never look better for TTD. They’re going to get more money than they even know what to do with.
