Taboola’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters but missed the mark once. TBLA has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 161.33% on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Consider

Taboola is expected to have benefitted from a large and diverse network of publishers, advertisers and users. Strength in its e-commerce and advertisement business is expected to bode well for its second-quarter 2023 results.

It has experienced strong demand and adoption of its performance advertising, powered by the recent workflow improvements and investments in generative AI, allowing advertisers to create engaging content and ads for their clients. This is likely to have increased net dollar retention in the quarter to be reported.

The company’s performance in the second quarter is likely to have benefited from new and renewed partnerships with companies like Yahoo, Walmart, Wayfair, and Macy’s as they continue to increase spending on Taboola’s solutions, thereby boosting the top line.

Continuous investments in product innovation and strategic partnerships are expected to enhance Taboola’s platform and offerings in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, stiff competition with other content discovery platforms and challenges in data processing are expected to have hurt TBLA’s prospects in second-quarter 2023.
