Current thesis
Q2 showed strong adoption in CTV, DOOH, Retail Media, and Outmax, while management says structural cost reductions and recently signed agreements can create second-half operating leverage. The stock also trades below the packet’s uncounted $13 median analyst target, although that target is a weak valuation anchor because analyst coverage count is unavailable.

Confirming evidence

Contradictions & invalidation

  • • Adjusted EBITDA declined to $2.8 million from $7.1 million, and operating cash flow declined to $2.5 million from $21.3 million.
  • • Analyst target count and post-print estimate or target revisions are unavailable, limiting confidence in valuation and market-consensus interpretation.
