In other recent news, PubMatic Inc. announced its Q4 2024 earnings, revealing a significant earnings per share (EPS) of $0.41, surpassing analysts’ forecast of $0.24. However, the company reported revenue of $85.5 million, which fell short of the anticipated $88.46 million. Despite this revenue miss, PubMatic’s financial stability was highlighted by ending the quarter with $140.6 million in cash and no debt. The company’s Connected TV (CTV) revenue more than doubled in 2024, marking it as a key growth driver. Analyst Ronald Josey from Citizens JMP adjusted the price target for PubMatic shares to $18.00 from $20.00 while maintaining a Market Outperform rating, citing challenges from a Demand-Side Platform (DSP) partner’s auction model transition. JMP analysts, led by Ronald Josey, also maintained a Market Outperform rating with a $61.00 price target, emphasizing PubMatic’s strong performance and growth potential despite the DSP challenges. PubMatic’s strategic initiatives, including Supply Path Optimization (SPO) and expansion into high-growth areas like CTV, are expected to bolster its position in the digital advertising industry. The company anticipates a high single-digit revenue growth by the end of 2025, despite a projected 7% year-over-year revenue decline in Q1 2025.
