Mobsmith To Provide Further Ad Optimization
AOL’s partnership should enable it to optimize its page views further as Mobsmith’s technologies help the company in effectively targeting its display ads to the right demographics. Mobsmith’s capabilities have already been integrated into AOL’s own ad platform – AdTech. AOL’s margins have suffered last year as the company made big investments on content acquisition, and this partnership might be a start in trying to improve profitability.
We have a revised price estimate of $14 for AOL stock, which is roughly 8% below the current market price.
