Criteo Q2 Revenue Drops 11%, Net Income Halved; AI Partnership with OpenAI Expands
CRTO is trading near its 52-week low of $15.575 (12% above the low) on elevated volume (3.8× avg).
Summary
Criteo's Q2 revenue fell 11% to $428M and net income halved to $11.8M, with management citing client spending cuts and Retail Media scope loss. Full-year guidance was cut, and capex is set at ~$190M. This follows the 8-K filed yesterday that first disclosed the disappointing results and guidance cut. On a positive note, the OpenAI partnership has doubled brands to over 2,000 and expanded to seven countries, with management expecting meaningful AI-driven growth in 2027. The redomiciliation to the U.S. is progressing, with the definitive merger agreement executed and S-4 filed. The Q2 miss and guidance cut are material negatives, but the AI expansion provides a potential long-term offset.
