‘Don't Worry About Amazon Taking Market Share,' Says Evercore about TTD Stock
Shares of adtech firm Trade Desk (TTD) are rallying at the time of writing after Evercore ISI, led by five-star analyst Mark Mahaney, upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy. The upgrade was based on the investment firm's growing confidence in digital ad spending, better execution by Trade Desk, and strong new product developments. Indeed, Evercore said that it has seen clear improvements in how Trade Desk is performing, both in the products it offers and how it markets them to clients.
Confident Investing Starts Here:
In a research note dated June 26, Evercore highlighted the positive feedback about Trade Desk's updated Kokai user experience. One programmatic ad agency leader noted that the transition from Solimar to Kokai in early 2024 went very well and that client service has improved significantly. And while Wells Fargo downgraded Trade Desk the day before due to worries about competition from Amazon (AMZN), Evercore believes that Google (GOOGL) is more likely to lose market share to Amazon's demand-side platform. In fact, it argues that Amazon's ad offerings overlap more with Google's DV360 than with Trade Desk's platform.
Looking ahead to 2026, Evercore expects Trade Desk to grow its revenue by about 20% per year, not including political ad boosts, which could add an additional percentage point of growth during the U.S. midterm elections. Other key growth drivers include rising ad spending from Netflix (NFLX), increased retail media budgets, better targeting through Trade Desk's Retail Sales Index, and major global events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and Winter Olympics. As a result, Evercore has a $90 price target for the stock, which equates to more than 28% upside from current levels.

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Lime
With 270,000 rentable e-bikes and e-scooters spread across 30 countries on five continents, the world's largest 'micromobility' company is proving that plenty of people are ready to avoid autos for city excursions under five miles. 'The things that make somebody in London want to use micromobility are also true in a place like Omaha, Nebraska,' CEO Wayne Ting says. In 2024, Lime saw its fourth straight year of 30%-plus growth (hitting $810 million in gross bookings) and reached record profitability. A partnership with investor Uber to allow bookings via that app didn't hurt. The company helped spark the micromobility trend through rapid expansion across the U.S. and Europe, when it first launched in 2017, and now even metropolises that don't have Lime have launched their own bike and scooter share services. Helping Paris become a 100% cyclable Olympics city in 2024, increasing its fleet there from 10,000 to 15,000, has prepared Lime to support other big events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
