LiveRamp Q1 Revenue Beats on AI Push, Operating Income Jumps 41%
RAMP sits 74% above its 52-week low of $21.71.
Summary
LiveRamp delivered a strong Q1, with revenue of $214M beating the $211.45M consensus and adjusted operating income surging 41% to $50M, well above the $44.66M estimate. The company credited progress in AI and agentic initiatives, including the launch of an Agent Builders Lab and partnerships with OpenAI, Databricks, and Adobe. Subscription revenue grew 8% and Marketplace & Other revenue jumped 15%, while the number of $1M+ customers rose to 132. The company declined to provide guidance, citing the pending $38.50/share acquisition by Publicis Groupe, which remains the dominant narrative. With shares trading near the deal price, the earnings beat reinforces the underlying business momentum but is unlikely to move the stock independently of the acquisition's progress. The special shareholder meeting to vote on the deal is set for August 17, 2026.
