What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• Several firms turned more positive on PubMatic after what they describe as a strong Q2 report and a material beat and raise, with Evercore ISI, B. Riley and Raymond James all lifting price targets into the US$17 to US$22 range.

• Evercore ISI highlights PubMatic's return to double digit revenue growth ahead of its earlier guidance and points to what it calls a strong catalyst path. The firm reflects this in a higher US$21 target and an Outperform rating.

• Raymond James upgraded PubMatic to Outperform with a US$22 target, arguing that the view of the company as a legacy desktop focused platform is becoming outdated as higher growth formats such as mobile app and emerging businesses reach about 60% of revenue.

• Jefferies raised its 2027 EBITDA forecast for PubMatic by 42% to US$85m after what it terms great Q2 results and suggests that clearer evidence of a sustained turnaround could support a higher valuation multiple over time.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• Jefferies keeps a Hold rating despite the US$10 to US$18 target move and flags the need for more evidence that recent performance and margin progress can persist before it would look for a valuation closer to peers like Magnite.
