Investing in The Trade Desk (TTD): A Strategic Buy on Declines

The Trade Desk Inc (TTD) $82 Buy On Declines 

Trade Alert: Bought TTD at $81.50 Bought 20% of total will keep accumulating.

Positives 

Trade Desk is growing revenues at 22-23% and should do so for the next 3-5 years.

Cash Flow generation is excellent with margins of 30% because of the massive SBC as is adjusted operating income.

It is the largest DSP (Demand Side Platform) for the Ad-tech industry by a mile and pretty much partners with everybody in the industry, with strong footholds in all the segments.

Advertising for the 2024 election should give it decent tailwind,

Negatives

Overpriced at 16x sales, no GAAP profitability and unlikely for a while given the SBC, which will keep a lid on the multiple.
