Morgan Stanley raised its target price to $18.00, pointing to a potential upside of 12.54% from the company's current price [1]. Needham & Company LLC also restated a "buy" rating and issued a $18.00 target price on shares of DoubleVerify [1].

DoubleVerify's Q2 revenue surged 21% year-over-year to $189.0 million, driven by robust performance across all three revenue lines. Activation revenue grew 25%, measurement revenue rose 15%, and supply-side revenue jumped 26% [2]. The company added 12 new enterprise clients, including Banco do Brasil, Emaar, and Puma, while expanding relationships with Fidelity and Kroger [2].

Despite aggressive growth, DoubleVerify maintained disciplined cost management, achieving a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin and a net income of $8.8 million. The company's Q2 performance exceeded its Innovation Day guidance, prompting an upward revision of full-year 2025 revenue growth to 15% and reaffirming its 32% adjusted EBITDA margin target [2].
