Trade Desk IncJob cuts and restructuring charges signal cost pressures and weak results.

The Trade Desk ended 4.5% lower at $14.41 on Friday, snapping a six-session winning streak during which the stock gained 15.8%. The decline followed the digital advertising platform's announcement that it plans to cut roughly 15% of its workforce as part of an organizational restructuring, with the reductions expected to be substantially completed in the third quarter of 2026. The company expects to incur about $39 million to $51 million in cash restructuring and related charges, mainly for employee severance and benefits, partially offset by a $4 million to $5 million reversal related to stock-based compensation. The stock remains down 61% year to date, and CEO Jeff Green acknowledged that second-quarter results "did not meet the standard we set for ourselves," citing a complex environment for marketers.
