Why Is The Trade Desk Stock Falling, and is it a Buying Opportunity? | TTD Stock Deep Dive Part 1

The Trade Desk (TTD) stock fell over 15% after its recent earnings report, though it has since recovered slightly. The author, who owns TTD and has previously ranked it highly, discusses the company's massive market opportunity in digital advertising and its position as an independent demand-side platform. Despite competition from walled gardens like Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta, which have improved their AI capabilities and gained market share, the author remains bullish on TTD's long-term prospects, particularly with the shift to connected TV advertising.
