The Trade Desk Just Obliterated Analyst Estimates
It was clear going into The Trade Desk's (NASDAQ: TTD) third-quarter update yesterday that digital ad spend was back in full force.

Impressively, the strong growth follows a period in which The Trade Desk's revenue declined 13% year over year.
Here's a closer look at how the ad-tech company crushed it in Q3.
