The Trade Desk, Inc.
Here’s whether The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-6.16% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -72.1%; 3-month momentum negative (-33.1%); rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.86x avg). Currently 74.9% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
TTD is trading below its 200-day MA ($27.46) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 33.4 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -72.1% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 92.5%). The current 74.9% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
