Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 38% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
Shares look beaten down and may be set to rebound. There is more buying than usual, and advertisers keep paying to make sure ads are safe and effective. A recent report highlighted 27.9 percent revenue growth, even as leadership faces a legal review. We prefer adding only after higher lows appear, aiming for a 0-3 month recovery as budgets settle into year-end.
Primary drivers
- Price looks very washed out and recent buying pickup hints at a turn soon.
- Recent coverage noted 27.9% sales growth, showing demand remains strong.
- Brands keep paying to ensure ads appear in safe places and work well.
- Leadership faces legal scrutiny, which could weigh on sentiment short-term.
How it played out
DV: target was not reached
Lyra published DV at 11.07 on 2025-10-12 with a short-term thesis for 30% growth. The thesis pointed to a washed-out price, a pickup in buying, continued advertiser spending on safer and more effective ad placements, 27.9% revenue growth cited in recent coverage, and legal scrutiny around leadership that could weigh on sentiment.
Inside the window, DV rose to 12.34 on 2025-10-27, with a peak gain of 11.5%. It stayed below the 14.39 target and never reached it. By 2026-01-10, it ended at 11.07. The rebound partly played out, but the published target missed.
