Perion Networks (PERI): Algo Trading for Ads — Perion's AI Layer for a Trillion-Dollar Market
from WTR Small-Cap Spotlight · host Water Tower Research
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight podcast, Tal Jacobson, CEO of Perion Network (NASDAQ: PERI), joins host Tim Gerdeman and WTR's James Kisner to discuss how the repositioned, AI-native Perion is tackling fragmentation in the trillion-dollar digital ad market. Jacobson walks through Perion One — a platform that sits above ad-buying platforms like Google, YouTube, Meta, and TikTok rather than replacing them — and Outmax, the company's AI agent that applies algorithmic-trading methodology to media buying for 52 Fortune 100 companies. Because Perion owns no inventory, it can recommend shifting spend to whichever channel delivers the best outcome — an edge single-channel players can't match. The conversation covers Q4 momentum, growth in CTV, Digital Out-of-Home, and Retail Media, partnerships with Amazon, Walmart Connect, and Mastercard, and a three-year plan targeting 20%+ organic ex-TAC CAGR, 28% EBITDA margins by 2028, and $300M+ in cash.
