(NASDAQ:TTD) drew Rosenblatt analyst Barton Crockett\u2019s attention, who lowered the firm\u2019s price target from $64 to $53, while reiterating a \u2018Buy\u2019 rating. The target adjustment comes amid the surprising termination of CFO Alexander Kayyal after only five months of service.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->On the same day, Truist also revisited The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD), reducing the price target from $85 to $60 while reiterating a \u2018Buy\u2019 rating. The firm\u2019s updated price target incorporates adjustments to forecasts, accounting for increased uncertainty stemming from the CFO transition. The recently terminated CFO previously served as Chief Accounting Officer for nearly 11 years. He brought deep expertise in financial management across high-growth software and internet markets.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-vbsvxt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Analysts believe the abrupt change at this critical leadership position dims the case for a valuation premium.
