Mediaalpha shares fell 1.5% in premarket trading to $12.75 after JPMorgan initiated coverage with a “Neutral” rating and a $15.00 price target. The bank highlights an average revenue CAGR of 34% from 2022–2025 and an acceleration of Q2 growth to 26%, but sees limited short-term outperformance catalysts. Weighing on the stock were insider sales by CEO Steven Yi (about 161,000 shares) and a weaker overall market, despite Mediaalpha reporting record Q2 revenue and issuing a Q3 revenue outlook of $330–355 million. » Más en de.investing.com
