1.b. Last Insights on DSP

Viant Technology's recent performance was negatively impacted by a Q4 earnings miss, with a quarterly earnings of $0.15 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.23 per share. The company's inability to meet earnings expectations, despite a strong revenue growth, suggests underlying operational challenges. Furthermore, the acquisition of Lockr, a first-party data collaboration platform, may have added complexity to the company's operations, potentially contributing to the earnings miss. Additionally, the company's fixed-cost-heavy structure, while positioning it for scalability, may also limit its ability to adjust to changing market conditions.

Q4 Highlights

Quarterly growth was led by a surge in CTV spend, which reached an all‑time high and now accounts for 46% of total advertiser spend. Digital out‑of‑home and mobile demand also accelerated, lifting contribution ex‑TAC by 19% to $64.6 million.

2025 Full‑Year Performance

Revenue of $344.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $57.4 million reflect robust cross‑vertical expansion. IRIS ID revenue grew 90% YoY, and the company now carries IRIS IDs in roughly 50% of the incoming CTV bidstream, positioning it for 70% penetration this year.

2026 Outlook

Viant forecasts 2026 revenue of $83‑86 million (+20% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of $8.5‑9.5 million, a 67% jump. The company expects to outperform the broader programmatic market, driven by a healthy ad environment, new wins like WHOOP, and marquee events such as the World Cup.

Product Innovations

New AI‑driven Solutions, Outcomes and the AI Lattice Brain, deliver up to 58% lower cost per conversion in tests. Outcomes achieved 82% cost reduction for UMass Global and 95% for Uqora, signaling a potential inflection in return on ad spend for advertisers.

Customer Momentum

Multi‑year partnership with WHOOP and wins with Molson Coors underscore Viant’s ability to deliver measurable performance. Customer‑directed CTV purchasing now represents 46% of platform spend, highlighting the shift toward addressable media.

Competitive Landscape

While Amazon’s third‑party inventory pushes and Trade Desk‑OpenAI partnership are notable, Viant’s proprietary IRIS ID network effects and data moat remain its strongest differentiators, limiting replication by competitors.

Valuation Snapshot

At the current price, Viant trades at a P/E of 22.83 and a P/B of 2.32, suggesting modest upside if the company sustains its 2026 growth trajectory. The EV/EBITDA of 3.39 and ROIC of 46.13% further reinforce its efficient capital deployment.
