"From the start of 2020 through the end of 2024, shares of advertising technology (adtech) company The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) were up an impressive 352%, trouncing the comparable 82% return for the S&P 500. In fact, this market-trouncing performance helped land The Trade Desk a spot in the S&P 500 index earlier this year. However, 2025 has been rough for shareholders. As of this writing, The Trade Desk stock is down 63% year to date, making it the lousiest stock in the S&P 500."
"On Aug. 7, The Trade Desk reported financial results for the second quarter of 2025. But it also gave guidance for the upcoming third quarter. And for Q3, management expects to generate revenue of $717 million. This represents a revenue growth rate of just 14%. The Trade Desk has only ever reported one quarter with growth as slow as what it's projecting for Q3, and it was the first quarter of the COVID-19 pandemic -- hardly an ordinary three months. Data by YCharts."
Shares of The Trade Desk climbed 352% from early 2020 through the end of 2024, far outpacing the S&P 500's 82% gain. In 2025 the stock fell 63% year to date, the worst performance in the S&P 500. Q2 2025 results were reported and Q3 guidance calls for $717 million in revenue, implying just 14% growth. The company has only once posted similarly slow growth, during the first quarter of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trade Desk released Kokai, an AI-powered platform touted as its most significant upgrade, but guidance disappointed investor growth expectations.
