The Trade Desk: Down 90%, still not cheap

I saw many TTD posts where the entire comparison is based on P/E or P/FCF ratios, without taking a deeper look into the business. That's what I did.

TLDR:

\- Still overvalued

\- Google/Amazon became their competitors, and the pressure on revenue/margin will continue

\- Had 4 CFOs in 13 months

\- Terrible at capital allocation (used $2.5b on buybacks to reduce share count by 4%)

\- No moat

\- No operating leverage

Full deep dive (\~6 minutes reading time) for those interested: [https://thefinancecorner.substack.com/p/the-trade-desk-down-90-still-not](https://thefinancecorner.substack.com/p/the-trade-desk-down-90-still-not)

Fair value: $11/share

Looking forward to reading your feedback!
