During The Trade Desk’s Q4 2024 earnings call in February 2025, Green stated that the company had fallen short of its own expectations for the first time in eight years as a public company, calling it “our fault.” He expressed confidence that Google would “exit the open internet,” citing antitrust and regulatory issues. By the Q2 2026 earnings call in August 2026, Green acknowledged that revenue growth remained below the company’s standards, attributing the underperformance to macroeconomic pressures on large brands. He described the current environment as an “ultimate buyer’s market” where supply outpaces demand. Green addressed questions about AI’s impact on the demand-side platform (DSP) model, arguing that the DSP model “is AI” and that future winners will be platforms that leverage AI effectively. He highlighted strong performance in CTV, audio, retail partnerships, and measurement products, and noted that the company has a largely new leadership team. Green characterized the company’s recent challenges as temporary, stating that “days like today hurt” but would make “the comeback story even more exciting.”

“All of their troubles come from the open internet and none of the money does for them. I believe that their role in the open internet or their stay in the open internet will be shorter than Google's because of the macro impacts on their business.”

“Probably the biggest news for me was making the biggest purchase of my life in an insider stock buy that I learned only afterwards was the third largest ever.”
