Magnite, Inc.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. KEYS has announced the completion of the industry’s first PSA Certified Level 4 security evaluation, conducted on Silicon Labs’ Series 3 Secure Vault integrated into the SixG301 wireless SoC. This marks a significant milestone in advancing the security assurance of connected devices amid rising cyber threats.
With the rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) across industries, the security landscape has grown increasingly complex, as devices face highly sophisticated attacks leveraging advanced tools and techniques. Certification programs such as PSA Certified provide critical benchmarks, enabling manufacturers to demonstrate that their devices can withstand these evolving threats. Level 4, the highest assurance level in the framework, focuses on testing the resilience of key security components like Root of Trust (RoT) and secure elements (SE) that safeguard data, firmware and functionality throughout the device’s lifecycle.
As an authorized PSA Certified Test Lab, Keysight conducted the Level 4 evaluation using its advanced security lab capabilities. The process included in-depth design reviews, vulnerability assessments and rigorous attack simulations such as Side-Channel Analysis and Fault Injection, ensuring the product’s ability to withstand the most advanced cyberattacks.
Keysight Technologies Inc. Price and Consensus
Although the original target was Level 3 certification, Keysight’s deep expertise and adaptable testing methodology enabled Silicon Labs to exceed expectations and achieve the top-tier Level 4 status. The accomplishment highlights both the strength of the Secure Vault technology and the value of Keysight’s role as a trusted security partner.
The successful evaluation not only underscores Silicon Labs’ leadership in IoT security but also positions Keysight as a pivotal enabler in bringing trusted, resilient technologies to market.
Keysight Sees Robust Growth Across 5G and IoT Markets
Electronic devices form the very fulcrum of IoT services, wireless devices, data centers and 5G technologies. With their rapid adoption, the demand for advanced electronic testing equipment is steadily rising, driving strong order growth for the company. Keysight’s award-winning Radar Scene Emulator stands out as the only market solution capable of replicating realistic roadway scenarios in a lab setting. This technology was recently selected by a leading U.S. automaker to support the testing and validation of autonomous driving systems.
Growth is further fueled by ongoing advancements in mobile communications, semiconductors and the automotive sector, along with increasing demand for power management applications. The company also benefits from global efforts to upgrade Internet infrastructure and the continued evolution of smart and autonomous vehicles. Beyond these markets, medical devices and pharmaceuticals represent significant opportunities, as electronics-based testing equipment sees growing adoption in healthcare applications.
Keysight has built a strong 5G portfolio, offering design validation solutions from Layer 1 to 7 that help telecom and semiconductor firms accelerate their 5G initiatives. Despite supply chain and geopolitical challenges, the company has seen rising investments in digital health, IoT and advanced research. Its 5G network emulation solutions enable end-to-end processes with cost-efficient, flexible testing, reducing time-to-market. Over the past three years, Keysight recorded a CAGR of more than 60% in 5G orders, supported by heavy infrastructure investments and successful trials. With its broad portfolio, Keysight is well-positioned to capitalize on robust 5G growth.
Apart from strength in the 5G domain, Keysight’s efforts in other emerging growth markets like IoT and high-speed data centers bode well for the top line. Particularly, management’s focus on Automotive and Energy, and Aerospace and Defense domains augur well in the long haul.
Recently, the company reported strong third-quarter fiscal 2025 results, wherein both the bottom and top lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company reported higher year-over-year revenues, backed by strength in the AI data-center market, aerospace, defense and government end markets. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, Keysight expects revenues in the range of $1.37-$1.39 billion. Non-GAAP earnings per share are estimated to be between $1.79 and $1.85.

Keysight Completes First PSA Certified Level 4 Security Evaluation

The Trade Desk TTD stock has tumbled 39.8% following the release of its second-quarter 2025 earnings on Aug. 7. Revenues increased 19% year over year to $694 billion and beat the consensus mark by 1.4%. This came above the company’s revenue expectation of at least $682 million. Connected TV or CTV once again emerged as the fastest-growing channel, driven by expanding partnerships with major media players, such as Disney, NBCU, Netflix, Roku and Walmart. Kokai continues to deliver strong performance.
On the profitability front, adjusted EBITDA came in at $271 million compared with $242 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EPS was 41 cents, missing estimates but up from 39 cents in the year-ago quarter, with free cash flow at $117 million.
Nonetheless, intense competition in the ad tech space amid increasing macroeconomic uncertainty are keeping investors on the sidelines. So, now the question arises whether investors should remain invested in TTD stock or book profits and exit. Let’s unpack the pros and cons and ascertain the best way forward.
Factors Driving Growth for TTD
Increasing digital spending in CTV remains a key growth driver. CTV, along with retail media, accounted for much of the company’s growth, supported by The Trade Desk’s decision-based programmatic approach, which delivers better returns compared with insertion order or programmatic guaranteed buying.
In the second quarter, Video, which includes connected CTV, accounted for a high-40s percentage of its overall business and continues to increase its share of the mix in the quarter. Mobile contributed a mid-30s percentage share of total spend, while display made up a low double-digit share and audio comprised approximately 5%.
Apart from CTV, momentum in retail media, international expansion, the Kokai platform, and efforts to strengthen go-to-market capabilities are other tailwinds.
More than 70% of the clients are now using the company’s Kokai platform, with full client adoption expected to be completed by this year. Trade Desk highlighted that Samsung saw a 43% improvement in audience targeting efficiency for an omnichannel, while Cashrewards experienced a 73% improvement in cost per acquisition for campaigns in Asia. Adding Koa AI technology across the platform is expected to aid in attracting more clients.
Complementing Kokai, OpenPath is simplifying the programmatic supply chain by allowing publishers to integrate directly with The Trade Desk’s platform. Sincera's acquisition is enhancing supply chain transparency through OpenSincera, which makes data available to the ecosystem for free. TTD is also upbeat about Deal Desk, which is currently in the beta stage. Deal Desk leverages AI forecasting to optimize deals and re-route underperforming deals to better open market and premium internet alternatives. Disney is already leveraging Deal Desk.
The Trade Desk Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
While North America accounted for 86% of advertising spend, TTD is steadily expanding its global footprint, driven by faster-growing international markets. This increasing global presence offers clients localized marketplace expertise across key regions. On theearnings call management said international growth again outpaced North America.
For the third quarter of 2025, the company anticipates revenues of at least $717 million, representing 14% year-over-year growth. Excluding the benefit of U.S. political ad spend in the third quarter of 2024, the company projected year-over-year growth for the third quarter to be approximately 18%. Trade Desk projects adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter to be around $277 million.
TTD Faces Several Headwinds
Macroeconomic uncertainty is likely to weigh on advertising budgets. TTD remains cautious regarding the impact of the volatile macro backdrop, particularly on the large global brands. If macro headwinds worsen or persist into the second half of 2025, revenue growth may face further pressure due to reduced programmatic demand.
The intensely competitive nature of the digital advertising industry, dominated by industry giants like Alphabet GOOGL and Amazon AMZN, as well as other smaller players like Magnite MGNI, continues to put pressure on TTD’s market positioning. Walled gardens like Google and Amazon dominate this space as they control their inventory and first-party user data, allowing for highly targeted ad campaigns.
While CTV remains a strong revenue driver, this market is also increasingly becoming competitive. Heavy reliance on CTV for growth is a concern, as any adverse impact on this segment could weigh heavily on the overall performance. Growing regulatory scrutiny around data privacy and evolving consumer data practices also threaten to disrupt the established audience-targeting methods.
Higher expenses are likely to weigh on profitability. In the last reported quarter, total operating costs surged 17.8% year over year to $577.3 million. Expenses soared on account of continued investments in boosting platform capabilities, particularly platform operations. Higher costs can prove a drag on margins, especially if revenue growth does not keep pace.
Overreliance on North America for revenues is another concern. Though TTD is focusing on geographic expansion, executing well across disparate markets can be complex and risky.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Given all these factors, analysts have kept their earnings unchanged for the current quarter.
TTD Stock vs. Peers
The company has also underperformed its digital advertising peers, including Alphabet, Amazon and Magnite over the past month. TTD has lost 29.5% while Amazon and Magnite shares have declined 1.9% and 4.4%. GOOGL is up 10.7% over the same time frame.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Stretched Valuation for TTD
TTD stock is also not so cheap, as its Value Style Score of F suggests a stretched valuation at this moment. The stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month price/sales of 8.23X compared with the industry’s 5.46X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Retain TTD Stock for Now
Despite the steep post-earnings slide, strong CTV growth, expanding Kokai adoption, and rising international traction support TTD’s long-term prospects. Innovations like Deal Desk and OpenPath position it well for sustained market share gains.
However, macro uncertainty, intensifying competition, and a premium valuation limit near-term upside potential. Heavy reliance on CTV and rising costs add execution risks that could pressure margins if top-line growth slows.
Given the mix of solid fundamentals and near-term headwinds, investors holding TTD stock can retain it in their portfolios for now, but new investors would be better off waiting for a favorable entry point.
At present, TTD carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Insider Sale: Director at $MGNI Sells 15,000 Shares

Investors considering a purchase of Magnite Inc (Symbol: MGNI) shares, but tentative about paying the going market price of $10.74/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the January 2026 put at the $10 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $2.15. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 21.5% return against the $10 commitment, or a 29.1% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Selling a put does not give an investor access to MGNI's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $10 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Magnite Inc sees its shares fall 6.4% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $7.85 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $2.15 from $10), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 29.1% annualized rate of return.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Magnite Inc, and highlighting in green where the $10 strike is located relative to that history:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the January 2026 put at the $10 strike for the 29.1% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks. We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Magnite Inc (considering the last 249 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $10.74) to be 64%. For other put options contract ideas at the various different available expirations, visit the MGNI Stock Options page of StockOptionsChannel.com.
In mid-afternoon trading on Monday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 961,483 contracts, with call volume at 1.13M, for a put:call ratio of 0.85 so far for the day, which is unusually high compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65. In other words, there are lots more put buyers out there in options trading so far today than would normally be seen, as compared to call buyers.

Noteworthy Wednesday Option Activity: HOOD, LNG, MGNI

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the Fidelity MSCI Communication Services Index ETF (Symbol: FCOM), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $66.99 per unit.
With FCOM trading at a recent price near $59.96 per unit, that means that analysts see 11.72% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of FCOM's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc. (Symbol: CCOI), Magnite Inc (Symbol: MGNI), and Grindr Inc (Symbol: GRND). Although CCOI has traded at a recent price of $72.44/share, the average analyst target is 14.20% higher at $82.73/share. Similarly, MGNI has 13.16% upside from the recent share price of $16.62 if the average analyst target price of $18.81/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting GRND to reach a target price of $19.50/share, which is 12.46% above the recent price of $17.34. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of CCOI, MGNI, and GRND:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:
Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

MGNI's shares have also outperformed its peers like Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft MSFT, which have gained 18.1%, 13.4% and 0.6%, respectively, in the same time frame.

Strategic partnerships with Netflix NFLX and Disney further strengthen MGNI’s market position. Its expanded deal with Disney now includes live sports, international markets and podcasts, with Disney inventory also integrated into ClearLine.
MGNI’s partnership with Netflix is also expanding as the platform is rolling out Magnite-powered programmatic solutions, which is expected to substantially boost revenues in 2025.
MGNI’s Earnings Estimate Trend Steady
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MGNI’s fourth-quarter 2024 earnings is currently pegged at 35 cents per share and has remained unchanged over the past 30 days.
