Factors to Note
Magnite’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a continued strong recovery in the digital advertising market.
Steady momentum across all formats and device types, which includes Connected Television (“CTV”), mobile, non-CTV video and display, might have aided the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Magnite is expected to have witnessed positive traction in the fourth quarter, courtesy of moving small advertisers over to CTV with respect to mid-market and regional campaigns.
The company’s fourth-quarter top line is likely to reflect benefits from client wins like
fuboTV
FUBO
and Frndly TV.
fuboTV and Frndly TV have selected Magnite as their preferred selling partner. The partnership between fuboTV and Magnite coincided with the launch of the 2021 football season as sports viewers migrated from linear TV to CTV.
The company is anticipated to have gained from increased cord-cutting and rising traction of ad-supported programmatic CTV, driven by a shift from direct sales to programmatic ad spending.
