The Trade Desk stock price has suffered a harsh reversal as it moved from the best performer in the Nasdaq 100 Index in 2024 to the worst one. TTD plunged to a low of $46.50 on Wednesday, its lowest level since April 9. <\/p>\n

It has dropped by 67% from its highest level in December, erasing over $47 billion in value. So, is it safe to buy the TTD stock today?<\/p>\n

Why The Trade Desk stock has plunged <\/h2>\n

The Trade Desk is a top company that operates a demand-side platform (DSP) for digital advertising, providing companies and agencies tools to buy and manage advertising across the internet.<\/p>\n

The company also automates the purchase of ad inventory across websites, connected TVs, and other media platforms. This is a big industry with a total addressable market of over $1 trillion.<\/p>\n

The Trade stock price plunged on Wednesday after an analyst from Morgan Stanley slashed his outlook and warned about its revenue growth. Matthew Cost lowered the price target from $80 to $50, while maintaining a hold rating.<\/p>\n

Cost joins other top analysts who have slashed its target lately. Chris Kuntarich, an analyst from UBS, lowered his target from $105 to $80, while Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson placed a sell rating with a target of $45.<\/p>\n

Not every analyst is bearish on The Trade Desk stock. In a statement after the Morgan Stanley report, Justin Patterson of KeyBanc, placed a target of $88 as he maintained a buy rating.<\/p>\n

The recent phase of the Trade Desk stock price plunge started after the company published its second-quarter results<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n

These results showed that the company\u2019s business was growing. However, investors were disappointed with its forward guidance, which was lower than expected.<\/p>\n

The Trade Desk\u2019s revenue rose from $585 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $694 million, a 19% annual increase. Similarly, its half-year revenue rose by 22% to $1.31 billion. However, its net income margin dropped to 13% from 15% a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Analysts expect that The Trade Desk growth will continue slowing as it did in the second quarter. The average estimate is that the revenue will be $718 million in the third quarter, a 14% annual increase.<\/p>\n

It will then slow to 11.8% in the fourth quarter to $829 million, which will bring the annual revenue figure to $2.86 billion.<\/p>\n

TTD stock is still highly overvalued despite the recent crash. The forward price-to-earnings ratio stands at 63, much higher than the sector median of 19. This multiple is also higher than that of other companies, including popular names like Microsoft and NVIDIA.<\/p>\n

The weekly timeframe chart shows that the TTD stock price has been in a strong downward trend in the past few months, moving from a high of $142 in November last year to $46 today.<\/p>\n

A closer look shows that the stock is about to form a death cross pattern, which happens when the 50-week and 200-week moving averages cross each other. This cross normally leads to more downside over time.<\/p>\n

The TTD stock price is approaching the important support level at $42, its lowest level on April 7. Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the stock continues falling as sellers target $42. A drop below that level will point to more downside, potentially to the key point at $38.5, its lowest level in July 22nd.<\/p>\n
