Noblecon19. On December 5th, management presented at Noblecon19 at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) in Boca Raton, Florida, to the investment community. The presentation conducted by Mr. Mark Walker, CEO, and Diana Diaz, CFO, highlighted the company’s favorable growth trends and dynamic value proposition. In our view, the company is well positioned to execute its favorable growth initiatives.

Favorable growth trends. The company grew Q3 revenue by an impressive 125.5%, from the prior year period. The strong performance was attributed to the firm’s sell-side programmatic advertising business. Notably, the number of sell-side customers stayed relatively stable, and ad spend per customer increased significantly.
