Growth slowed in second quarter

The Trade Desk reported USD 715.1 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, a 3.00 percent year-over-year increase, according to Zacks on September 4, 2026. That growth rate was down from 12.00 percent in the first quarter of 2026, making the slowdown a measurable change in the companys operating trend.

For the third quarter of 2026, management expects revenue of at least USD 650.0 million and adjusted EBITDA of USD 160.0 million, Zacks reported. The revenue floor implies a lower level than the USD 715.1 million recorded in the second quarter, while adjusted EBITDA provides a separate profitability benchmark.

Restructuring adds a cost test

The company disclosed a plan on September 3, 2026, to reduce its workforce by 15.00 percent. The Economic Times, citing the companys regulatory filing, reported on September 4, 2026, that cash restructuring and related charges are expected to total USD 39.0 million to USD 51.0 million, partly offset by a USD 4.0 million to USD 5.0 million stock-based compensation reversal.

The restructuring is expected to be substantially completed in the third quarter of 2026. For investors, the key test is whether the cost action can support execution while revenue growth remains at 3.00 percent in the latest reported quarter.
