MNTN stock rating reiterated by JMP, citing first-mover advantage in CTV

Investing.com - JMP Securities has reiterated its Market Outperform rating and $33.00 price target on MNTN Inc (OTC:MNTN) following meetings with the company’s CFO Patrick Pohlen. The target represents a 65% upside from current levels, aligning with the broader analyst consensus that remains bullish with price targets ranging from $25 to $39.

The investment firm expressed increased confidence that MNTN is accelerating its first-mover advantage in bringing performance marketing capabilities to connected TV (CTV) advertising.

JMP highlighted that 97% of MNTN advertisers had never advertised on television before, indicating the company is successfully enabling small businesses to extend performance marketing to CTV through self-service channels.

The firm noted MNTN’s ability to generate ad creative and provide performance tools that create fast return on media investments as key competitive advantages.
