- Prediction: Here's Where The Trade Desk Stock Will Be in 2029
The Trade Desk (TTD) shares trade near $12, down about 91% from their December 2024 record close of $139.51 and about 68% since the end of 2025. Q2 2026 revenue rose just 3% to $715 million while net income fell about 29%, and management guided to Q3 revenue of at least $650 million, a decline of about 12% year over year. Buybacks cut the diluted share count from about 507 million in late 2024 to 470 million by Q2 2026, and the company holds about $1.5 billion in cash and short-term investments with no debt. The author estimates the stock could reach about $16 by end-2029, a gain of about 9% a year, but this depends on a return to revenue growth that management has not forecast; if revenue settles near $2.8 billion with a 10% net margin, the stock could be worth about $7. The author says he still would not buy the shares until management's revenue forecast turns up again.
- Trade Desk Is Now Down 67% This Year: Is TTD Stock Dead Money or Due for a Bounce?
Trade Desk shares have fallen 67% year to date to around $12.43, a market value of $5.34 billion, after Q2 2026 revenue of $715.06 million came in below expectations and Q3 revenue guidance of at least $650 million fell well short. Management blamed pressure from consumer packaged goods and automotive advertisers, execution problems and a shift to lower-cost fixed-price media, and analysts cut their 2026 EPS consensus to $1.158 from $1.8428 sixty days earlier. Rival AppLovin is down 60% year to date, while Magnite is up 44%, and CFO Nate Olmstead said visibility was “somewhat more limited than it has been in recent history.” Bulls point to a trailing P/E of 14.87x, customer retention above 95% and $269 million left on the buyback authorization, while skeptics expect several quarters to fix pricing and execution, with 2027 consensus EPS of $1.0019.

- Prediction: This Magnificent Seven Stock Could Be a $1 Trillion Opportunity
24/7 Wall St. sets a price target of $423.95 for Alphabet (GOOG), implying 32.17% upside from the prior close of $320.76, and rates the stock 'buy' with 70% confidence, which would add about $1.3 trillion to its $4.05 trillion market cap. Shares are about 21% below their 52-week high of $403.96, even as Q2 revenue rose 24.2% to $119.80 billion, Google Cloud grew 82% with its backlog reaching $514 billion, and its operating margin expanded to 35.6%. The article flags risks including Q2 capex rising 100.14% to $44.92 billion, negative free cash flow of -$5.86 billion, long-term debt rising from $46.5 billion to $98.2 billion, a planned at-the-market program of up to $40 billion that could dilute shareholders, and a $3.5 billion EU fine. Among analysts, 13 rate the stock Strong Buy, 44 Buy, 5 Hold and none Sell, while the bull case is $442.71 and the bear case is $365.73. The author concludes that Alphabet looks undervalued, though the projections depend on continued AI execution, regulatory action and AI spending.

- Democrats map out an agenda to address affordability and corruption after midterm sweep
Newly elected Democratic majorities in the Senate and House plan to pass a flurry of bills soon after taking office in January, focusing on affordability, including high costs for gas and groceries, CNBC reports. In their first 100 hours, House Democrats plan to restore expired enhanced health insurance subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts Trump signed last year, while the party also plans to push a bill undoing his sweeping tariffs and to vote again on ending the Iran war. Democrats are also mapping oversight investigations of Trump, his family, cabinet and business supporters, though Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said targets have not yet been evaluated. Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, pledged to make billionaires pay their fair share of taxes and to scrutinize insurers and pharmaceutical CEOs. Some Democrats are also pushing an ethics package that could ban stock trading by officials and limit super PAC spending.

- Is Broadcom Stock a Buy Now?
Broadcom shares are down 31% from their all-time high and 4% since the start of 2026, hit by a semiconductor sell-off after Intel's disappointing fourth-quarter guidance. Yet the author notes fiscal third-quarter AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion beat the $16 billion target, up 221% year over year, and total revenue reached $29.6 billion, up 86%.

Risks remain, including competition from Google's expanded Marvell partnership, and the stock trades at 28.3 times forward earnings. The author still considers the valuation justified by the results and finds the shares attractive below their peak.
- Canton Coin Gets SEC Nod as Wall Street Tokenization Heats Up
The SEC's Division of Corporation Finance said it views Canton Coin as a “digital commodity” and won't recommend enforcement action if validators and application providers mint the token programmatically without registering it. The staff relied on Canton's representations that the token's value comes from network operation and supply and demand, and that the network has no “central party.” Canton launched without an initial coin offering or premine, with tokens earned only by running network infrastructure and applications. The relief arrived a week after DTCC launched a tokenization service on Canton that lets firms convert DTC-held stocks and Treasuries into tokens, and Morgan Stanley said it was among the first banks to use it. The SEC noted the letter reflects only staff's enforcement position, not a legal conclusion, and rests on the facts Canton presented. Digital Asset, which created the Canton Network, raised $355 million earlier this year from Wall Street firms and a sovereign wealth fund.
