Criteo: share price soars after 'record' results

(CercleFinance.com) - French online advertising specialist Criteo jumped more than 17% on Wall Street on Wednesday, following the publication of "record" Q4 results.


The group based between Paris and New York reported this morning an adjusted operating profit (Ebitda) up 4% to 144 million dollars, despite a 2% drop in sales to 553 million dollars.

Its ex-TAC contribution (excluding acquisition costs) - a closely watched business indicator - nevertheless rose by 6% to 334 million dollars.

For 2025, Criteo is targeting growth of around 5% in its ex-TAC contribution at constant exchange rates, with an adjusted operating margin expected to be between 33% and 34%.

The group - whose CEO, Michael Komasinski, is due to take over from Megan Clarken on February 15 - says it has increased its remaining share buyback budget to almost $200 million, after spending a record $225 million on share acquisitions last year.

Following all these announcements, the stock climbed 17% on Wednesday morning in New York, bringing its gains over the past 12 months to over 47%.
