CTV has become larger than the company's DV+ business, making streaming the majority of Magnite's operations. The company completed the acquisition of Streamrai, Inc. in September 2025, which specializes in AI tools for CTV advertising, making it accessible to small and medium-sized businesses. Magnite Inc exhibits a strong market position, particularly in the CTV segment, and benefits from a comprehensive omni-channel SSP platform and a global presence.

Revenue grew 7% to $713.953 million, gross profit increased 9% to $447.334 million, and operating income improved significantly to $97.601 million. The company ended Q4 with $553 million in cash and net leverage was zero at quarter-end. However, recent guidance missed analyst expectations.
