Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 23, 2025
IAS may bounce back after bad news pushed it down. Lower rates help growing tech stocks, and buyers seem to be returning. The open investigation is a real risk, so keep positions small, wait to see lots more people buying than usual, and use close exit points. If advertisers keep needing tools that check ad quality and safety, the price could rise toward 10-11 over the next three months.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out, and investor mood has turned more positive lately
- Lower interest rates can lift fast-growing technology stocks this year
- Advertisers still need tools to keep ads safe and measure real attention
- An ongoing investor investigation could weigh on shares and sentiment
How it played out
IAS: rose 21% but never reached the target
Lyra published IAS at 8.55 on 2025-09-23. The thesis looked for 22% growth over the short-term window, toward 10.42. It pointed to a washed-out price, more positive investor mood, lower interest rates helping fast-growing technology stocks, advertiser demand for ad quality and safety tools, and the risk from an ongoing investor investigation.
Inside the 2025-09-23 to 2025-12-22 window, IAS rose but stayed just below the target. The peak was 10.34 on 2025-12-22, a 21% gain. It also ended at 10.34. The thesis mostly played out, but the target was never reached.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
