PubMatic Q2 Revenue Beats by 14%, EBITDA Nearly Triples Estimates; Guides Above Consensus
PUBM has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $6.15.
Summary
PubMatic delivered a standout Q2, with revenue of $78.6M beating consensus by 14% and adjusted EBITDA of $19.6M nearly tripling the $8.8M estimate. Adjusted net income swung to a $5.9M profit versus expectations of an $8M loss. The beat was driven by a doubling of AgenticOS adoption, a revenue mix shift where CTV, mobile app, and emerging channels now make up ~60% of total revenue, and a 20% reduction in cost per million impressions processed. Q3 guidance calls for revenue of $75M-$77M and adjusted EBITDA of $17M-$19M, both above prior consensus. The company also repurchased 2.1M shares in Q2, about 4.2% of diluted shares, signaling confidence. This follows a Q1 marked by widening losses and declining retention; the sharp reversal in profitability and growth metrics resets the narrative. With the stock trading near a 52-week high, the magnitude of the beat and the raised outlook justify immediate attention.
