We recently published an article titled Why These 15 Large-Cap Stocks Are Plunging So Far In 2025. In this article, we are going to take a look at where The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) stands against the other large-cap stocks.
The big and large-cap stocks have spearheaded the rally in the past two years, but Wall Street’s expectations have gotten ahead of many of their fundamentals. The Nasdaq briefly entered correction territory as the stock market cooled over the past week due to tariff fears and a perceived slowdown in the growth of AI, which then spilled into the data center industry.
Wall Street is now reassessing the growth premium they are paying for many of these large-cap stocks. A lot of them have tumbled in the past week and have done so in a much more severe way than the broader market.
That said, large companies have staying power, and many of them could now be undervalued.
For this article, I screened the worst-performing large-cap stocks ($10 billion to $100 billion) year-to-date.
I will also mention the number of hedge fund investors in these stocks. Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 63
The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) is a tech company that specializes in programmatic advertising.
The stock is down significantly so far in 2025 as it reported Q4 2024 revenue that missed its own guidance. Revenue came in at $741 million and missed guidance of $756 million. Analysts expected that it would post $760 million. This is the first revenue miss from the company in 33 quarters.
It also gave weak Q1 2025 guidance. The Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTD) projected revenue of $575 million and adjusted EBITDA of $145 million, both below market expectations of $582 million in revenue and $193 million in EBITDA.
The company attributed the miss to execution challenges during the rollout of its AI-powered platform called Kokai.
In response, there have been multiple class action lawsuits against The Trade Desk. They allege false or misleading statements regarding its Kokai rollout.
