Criteo stock (ISIN LU3433852426) was trading at USD 14.44 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026 at 1:29 p.m. ET, down 2.00 percent from the prior close. On October 5, Criteo said its SSP had been recognized by Frost & Sullivan for Commerce Media Innovation, giving the company a product-focused announcement as the stock touched a new yearly low.

A new 52-week low

MarketBeat reported on October 5 that Criteo shares reached a new 52-week low during trading. The finance quote showed a session range of USD 14.28 to USD 14.65, with 243,933 shares changing hands and market capitalization of USD 725.3 million on the same date.

The stock's 52-week range was USD 14.28 to USD 25.29 on October 5. The current quote therefore sat USD 10.85 below the yearly high, a gap of 42.9 percent calculated from the high, while the business picture remains split between pressure in Performance Media and expansion in newer commerce channels.

Q2 revenue fell 11.3 percent

Criteo's Q2 2026 revenue was USD 428.02 million, down 11.3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to MarketBeat on October 5. The same report said adjusted EPS was USD 0.80, beating the USD 0.71 consensus by USD 0.09.

Criteo's Q2 2026 earnings call added the operating detail: adjusted EBITDA was USD 73 million, while adjusted diluted EPS was USD 0.80 versus USD 0.92 in Q2 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. Management also projected a 10%-12% decline in 2026 Contribution ex-TAC at constant currency and Q3 adjusted EBITDA of USD 54 million to USD 58 million.

Analysts see a wide valuation gap

The analyst picture is mixed. MarketBeat said 12 analysts covered Criteo with six Buy ratings, three Hold ratings and three Sell ratings, producing a consensus Hold rating and an average 12-month price target of USD 22.65. That target lies 56.9 percent above the USD 14.44 Nasdaq price on October 5.

Recent target revisions underline the caution. MarketBeat reported that Morgan Stanley cut its target from USD 29.00 to USD 25.00 and retained an Equal Weight rating on August 6, 2026, while BMO Capital Markets set a USD 20.00 target. For investors, the central tension is clear: Criteo is still reporting profitable operations and product expansion, but weaker enterprise spending is weighing on the near-term revenue path.

Nasdaq quote remains under pressure

Criteo stock was trading at USD 14.44 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026 at 1:29 p.m. ET, with a daily change of minus 2.00 percent and a 52-week range of USD 14.28 to USD 25.29.
