The Trade Desk reported $736M in Q3 2026 revenues, down 0.5% YoY but exceeding management's $650M projection. Growth was driven by medical, political, and a one-time partner contribution. Video and international markets showed strength, but management expects a YoY revenue decline in Q4. TTD shares are up 33.6% in the past month.
