Action:Reiterated
Date:06/16/26
The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance (profitability recovery, low leverage, and positive free cash flow). Corporate events add support via the announced all-cash acquisition. Technicals are positive but near-term momentum appears overextended (high RSI), and valuation is reasonable but lacks dividend support.
Positive Factors
Balance sheet strength
Very low leverage and a sizeable equity base (~$972M) give LiveRamp financial flexibility to invest, buy back shares, or weather downturns. A conservative balance sheet supports multi-year product development and partner integrations, reducing financing and solvency risk.
Negative Factors
Revenue growth volatility
The sharp TTM revenue surge versus prior years suggests growth may be driven by timing, one-off contracts, or non-recurring items. Such volatility undermines predictability, complicates capacity and go-to-market planning, and risks margin pressure if growth reverts to trend.

LiveRamp Holdings Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 05, 2026
(Q3-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 12, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed strong operational and financial performance: double-digit improvements in profitability, record free cash flow, meaningful customer growth, ARR momentum, and a clear strategic position around AI and usage-based pricing. Near-term headwinds were limited and mostly timing-related (marketplace sequencing, platform upgrade margins, and contract renewal timing). Management provided raised confidence in multi-year targets (Rule of 40 by FY28) and reiterated guidance with narrow ranges for FY26, while noting that some benefits from pricing and AI will materialize over several quarters.Positive Updates
Revenue Growth Above Guidance
Total revenue of $212M, up 9% year-over-year and $1M above the midpoint of guidance; subscription revenue $158M, also up 9%.
Negative Updates
Data Marketplace Timing Headwind
Marketplace & other revenue of $54M landed modestly below expectations due to slower data marketplace growth early in the quarter and sequencing of services projects (though reaccelerated mid-November).

Company Guidance
The company updated FY‑26 guidance calling for revenue of $810–814M (roughly 9% growth), gross margin of ~72–73% (down 1–2 pts as platform migration completes), and non‑GAAP operating income of $180M (a 22% margin), while GAAP operating income is expected to be ~ $84M (≈10% margin); management reiterated FY‑26 as “rule of 31” (9% revenue growth, 22% operating margin) and a longer‑term goal of Rule of 40 by FY‑28 (10–15% revenue growth and 25–30% non‑GAAP operating margin). For Q4 they guided revenue of $203–207M, non‑GAAP operating income of ~ $38M (≈18% margin), subscription revenue up high single digits, marketplace & other revenue up low double digits, and gross margin ~72%. They expect free cash flow to be up slightly for the year, EBITDA conversion >75%, continued share repurchases (Q3 FCF $67M; $39M repurchased in Q3; FY‑to‑date repurchases $119M vs. FCF $108M), stock‑based comp of roughly $81M (down ~25% YoY), and signaled confidence in returning to 10%+ revenue growth next year given ARR momentum and AI/usage‑based pricing tailwinds.LiveRamp Holdings Financial Statement Overview
