Magnite shares surged as much as 12.9% on Thursday after a federal judge unsealed the full ruling in the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust case against Alphabet's Google, a decision Wall Street sees as a major win for independent adtech firms. In a 106-page decision, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia rejected the Justice Department's request to force Google to sell its AdX advertising exchange business, but imposed a set of remedies intended to pry open the adtech markets to competition. Google will be required to submit to oversight for six years, give publishers access to real-time bidding, and allow them to use competing ad exchanges, with the details still being worked out and expected to be implemented within 60 days. Following the ruling, StoneX analyst Daniel Kurnos raised his price target on Magnite to $43 from $33 while keeping a buy rating, calling the stock one of the firm's best ideas, and Craig-Hallum analyst Jason Kreyer lifted his target to $32 from $28, saying the decision is a significant tailwind for independent sell-side platforms like Magnite. Magnite stock has more than doubled over the past six months and trades at 23 times earnings.
