Perion’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 12.86%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors to Note
Perion’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its digital advertising industry, driven by its diversified product portfolio across various advertising channels, including search, CTV (Connected TV) and retail media.
Strengthening international footprint is expected to have remained a key factor in driving Perion’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Its partnership in Brazil with Eletromidia, one of the largest media owners in the country’s advertising landscape in the fourth quarter, is likely to have driven growth in the first quarter.
The partnership provides access to more than 46,000 digital screens, presenting significant opportunities for Perion’s high-impact display and creative solutions. This, in turn, is expected to have driven revenue growth and diversification of the company’s client base in the quarter under review.
PERI’s advertising solutions, such as generative AI audio ads and Pause Ads in partnership with DirecTV, are likely to have gained solid traction among advertisers, driving its consumer engagement in the first quarter.
The acquisition of HiveStack, a global programmatic digital out-of-home solution, is expected to have contributed significantly to Perion’s diversification strategy in the to-be-reported quarter.
By leveraging synergies between retail media solutions and HiveStack’s capabilities, Perion aims to offer comprehensive solutions to its customer base. Cross-selling opportunities and geographic expansion into fast-growing markets are expected to have driven revenue growth in the quarter under review.
Perion’s Display Advertising revenues are likely to have benefited from increased adoption of its video and Connected TV solutions, alongside higher spending from SORT customers. Increasing privacy concerns are expected to have driven the demand for SORT, contributing to the company’s revenue growth.
The company is expected to have registered a drop in Search Advertising due to Microsoft Bing’s pricing and distribution adjustments, resulting in lower revenue per thousand impression (RPM) and reduced search volume.
