RTB Digital Inks 10-Year, $1B Deal With Paradium.AI, Targets $100M Annual Revenue
RTB has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $3.25 on elevated volume (3.1× avg).
Summary
RTB Digital signed a 10-year, $1B agreement with Paradium.AI (formerly The Arena Group) to migrate and monetize its media portfolio on Roundtable's MediaOS. The company forecasts roughly $100M in annualized revenue and an EBITDA-positive run rate after closing. This is a transformative contract for a company with a $145M market cap and only $2.9M in H1 revenue — the deal would multiply revenue many times over. The announcement follows a $5.1M private placement at $11.13 on September 8 and a shareholder call scheduled for today, September 17, that was expected to reveal details of a strategic partnership previously disclosed as a $10M deal. The $1B figure far exceeds that earlier disclosure, suggesting a major escalation in scope. Key risks: deal closure timing, onboarding execution, and whether the $100M run-rate and EBITDA-positive targets are achievable.
At the time of this announcement, RTB was trading at $10.36 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $145.1M. The 52-week trading range was $3.25 to $20.75.
