The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD)

The Trade Desk’s stock fell by 1.40%, closing at $88.33. During the day, it reached a high of $91.45 and a low of $87.44, with a 52-week range of $141.53 to $42.96. The stock plunged heavily by nearly 29% to $62.88 in the after-hours session. The drop came after the company released its second-quarter earnings, reporting 41 cents per share, aligning with analyst expectations. CEO Jeff Green said at the earnings call, “In the second quarter, starting right at the beginning of April, some of the biggest brands, particularly in sectors like auto and consumer packaged goods, which are meaningful categories for us, began to experience even greater volatility, but since then, things have stabilized.”
