TTD’s 17% One Month Pop Begs The Question: Is APP Better Instead?
APP offers superior revenue growth across key periods, better profitability, and relatively lower valuation.
- APP’s quarterly revenue grew 40.3%, vs. TTD’s 25.4%.
- In addition, its Last 12 Months growth came in at 41.6%, ahead of TTD’s 25.1%.
- APP leads on profitability over both periods – LTM margin of 46.5% and 3-year average of 25.6%.
That is one way to look at stocks. Trefis High Quality Portfolio evaluates much more, and is designed to reduce stock-specific risk while giving upside exposure
