Teads Fair Market Value Revised
Quo Vadis News revises its Teads fair market value model, converting Altice’s F1 data to euros and adjusting invested capital estimates for FY21–FY23. The analysis subtracts a €77.4 million Phantom Stock Appreciation Right (PSAR) plan from Teads’ equity value and assumes 40% EBIT margins with ROIC above 25%. Using a discounted cash flow approach and Teads’ growth in line with the overall digital ad market, the equity value is estimated at about $1.82 billion, or roughly 13x FY23 EBITDA. The piece notes that Teads’ revenue growth has slowed while market dynamics show pressure on outstream formats and signal loss; eMarketer cites a 16% CAGR for global digital ad spend from FY19–FY23, versus Teads’ roughly 7%. It also presents an alternative scenario where faster deterioration could pull value toward about $1 billion (7.5x EBITDA). Business Insider cites Outbrain as a frontrunner to acquire Teads.

Teads and Koddi have announced a new integration connecting Teads' Ad Manager with Koddi's commerce media infrastructure.

The integration uses the OpenRTB standard to facilitate automated exchange between demand and sell sides, eliminating the need for proprietary integrations between Teads and individual retailers.
