Amazon Ads and Roku Announce Partnership Creating the Largest Authenticated CTV Footprint
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Amazon Ads and Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) announced a new integration that gives advertisers access to the largest authenticated CTV footprint in the U.S. exclusively through Amazon DSP. The new collaboration delivers logged-in reach to an estimated 80M U.S. Connected TV (CTV) households, representing more than 80% of U.S. CTV households according to ComScore data. Unlocking an addressable CTV audience at such unprecedented scale will drive improved performance, planning, optimization, and measurement for all advertisers, further enabling CTV as a true performance solution. The exclusive partnership between two leaders in CTV enhances addressability across major streaming apps including The Roku Channel, Prime Video, and other leading CTV streaming services on Roku and Fire TV operating systems; popular streaming services already available, including Disney, FOX Corporation, Paramount, Tubi, and Warner Bros Discovery; and all premium publishers.
Early tests of this integration have shown significant results. Advertisers using this new solution reached 40% more unique viewers with the same budget and reduced how often the same person saw an ad by nearly 30%, enabling advertisers to benefit from three times more value from their ad spend.
'Our exclusive partnership with Roku is a giant leap for advertisers, bringing best-in-class planning, audience precision, and performance to TV advertising,' said Paul Kotas, Senior Vice President, Amazon Ads. 'The collaboration enables agencies and brands that use Amazon DSP to benefit from greater efficiency and higher performance. We're removing the guesswork to provide advertisers with unprecedented capabilities and delivering performance in ways that simply weren't possible before. By combining our technologies, advertisers can now drive full-funnel campaign outcomes—from awareness through conversion—while eliminating media waste across Amazon and Roku streaming audiences.'
The integration utilizes a custom identity resolution service, allowing Amazon DSP to recognize logged-in viewers across the Roku OS and devices in the U.S. This exclusive capability enables advertisers to reach the same viewer deterministically across different streaming channels and devices, providing more accurate audience targeting and measurement than previously possible.
'For years, Roku has been committed to delivering performance-driven, open, and interoperable solutions that provide visibility and accountability for advertisers. Our partnership with Amazon strengthens this mission, as Amazon DSP exemplifies these principles,' said Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media. 'This collaboration delivers a unified, future-ready solution at an unprecedented scale, one designed to drive measurable outcomes by unlocking performance across CTV. With nearly half of all TV streaming time in the U.S. happening on Roku, and the power and depth of Amazon in retail and beyond, together we're uniquely positioned to prove performance and differentiate DSP offerings for our shared advertisers and marketers.'
As the most addressable platform for Roku's CTV activation, Amazon DSP now offers advertisers new exclusive advantages:
Reach with more precision: Authenticated reach across two of the largest CTV footprints, paired with Amazon's trillions of shopping, streaming, and browsing signals, helps brands more precisely reach their desired audiences and connect ads to consumer actions, such as purchases.
Measurable results at every stage of the customer journey: Combining data from ads served on the Roku platform with Amazon DSP insights shows exactly how ads drive outcomes across the funnel, providing a level of intelligence across Roku properties not offered by any other DSP.
Effective control of ad frequency: Amazon DSP can now recognize users across channels and devices to deliver the right number of ads—eliminating wasted impressions while creating a better viewing experience.
Amazon Ads offers full-funnel advertising solutions to help businesses of all sizes achieve their marketing goals at scale. Amazon DSP is a technology solution available to Amazon Ads customers, providing choice and flexibility to drive meaningful moments between brands and consumers. Amazon DSP leverages unique first-party insights paired with sophisticated clean room technology to bring advertisers and publishers closer together, increasing efficiency and improving performance.

Check Out the Homes of 8 Famous Money Experts, From Bezos to Buffett
One of the perks of being a famous money expert (or simply one of the wealthiest people on Earth) is having the ability to live large — literally. Having amassed an incredible amount of wealth, folks such as Jeff Bezos also have acquired some fascinating real estate portfolios that reflect not only their personal tastes, but also their financial philosophies. Also See: Learn More: Whether it's a 1,400-acre hyper-secret Hawaiian compound or a 400-square-foot, four-bedroom home in Texas, the houses, mansions and compounds of eight of the world's most famous money experts might fascinate you. As the world's third-wealthiest human being (after Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who will both pop up later), Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has a staggering real estate portfolio of over 10 homes valued at approximately $700 million, per the Robb Report. Estimated Cost: $165 million Bezos owns a 14,000-square-foot mansion with two houses, a golf course, a tennis court, a parking structure, a nursery and a swimming pool. Estimated cost: $78 million The secretive Bezos compound in Maui consists of 14 acres and multiple houses. Estimated cost: $234 million In 2023, Bezos began purchasing great deals of Florida real estate, making the state his primary residence. Estimated cost: $132 million Bezos has owned property in New York City since 1999, owning multiple massive units in multiple buildings throughout the city. Estimated cost: $120.5 million Bezos set himself up with a gargantuan compound in Medina, Washington in 1998, a great deal of which he has since sold and made Florida his primary residence. Estimated Cost: $28 million In addition to buying The Washington Post, Bezos has also purchased a building formerly used as the Textile Museum and transformed it into a private residence. Find More: Read More: Estimated cost: $31,500 Warren Buffett is currently the sixth-richest man in the world with a net worth of $154 billion, and yet the famously frugal investor owns only one home — in Omaha, Nebraska. Purchased in 1958 for approximately $31,500, Buffett has lived in the five-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home for 67 years. See More: Bestselling author and business expert Grant Cardone has an estimated net worth of $600 million. While that doesn't make him the wealthiest person in the world, it certainly has afforded him the ability to own some pricey real estate. Estimated cost: $40 million Cardone spent $40 million in January 2022 on a Malibu beachfront home that houses six bedrooms across 10,000 square feet. He is reportedly trying to sell the home for $65 million, and has noted he would prefer payment in bitcoin. Estimated cost: $28 million Cardone is also selling his Miami home for $42 million, after spending $28 million on it in 2021 in a purchase from Tommy Hilfiger. Billionaire and entrepreneur Mark Cuban has gone from splitting $600 rent with five friends in a single apartment in 1982 to owning an incredibly expensive series of properties throughout America. Estimated cost: $22 million Cuban makes his main home in the ritzy Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas. In addition to such extravagances as a tennis court and pool, the house also has 10 bathrooms and eight bedrooms. Estimated cost: $19 million to $26 million Cuban's West Coast home comes loaded with a walk-in wine cellar, an infinity pool and a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Estimated cost: $13.5 million Cuban owns a condo in the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Cuban bought it in 2000 and has yet to sell it because it has lost value. Estimated cost: $50,000 Perhaps befitting his mercurial, somewhat unusual nature, Elon Musk is the richest human being on Earth, and yet lives a tiny home that is only 400 square feet. Designed to be the height of functionality and efficiency, it is worth only $50,000 and is comprised of a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. It is located near Musk's SpaceX Starbase that is based out of Boca Chica, Texas. Explore More: Financial expert and author Suze Orman has a varied and pricey real estate portfolio, albeit one without many public details. Estimated cost: $3.6 million Since 2007, Orman has owned a 1,275-foot apartment in the ritzy Plaza Hotel along New York City's Central Park. Estimated cost: N/A While details on Orman's other properties are scant, she is known to also own a condo in South Florida, a condo in Johannesburg, South Africa, and property in the Bahamas, per her own website. Estimated cost: $10.2 million Financial advisor Dave Ramsey is known for his somewhat loud, larger-than-life personality, so it's only fitting that he would have had an enormous six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home of his own, one that stretches across 13,545 square feet, as reported by Taste of Country. The home is stacked with an elevator, a pool and spa, three garages and five fireplaces. All that said, Ramsey chose to sell the property in 2021. With a net worth of $216 billion, Facebook founder and entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg is the world's second-wealthiest person, and he has a real estate portfolio that definitely matches his stature as one of the world's richest men. Estimated cost: $270 million Zuckerberg owns an enormous estate in Kauai that stretches beyond a whopping 1,400 acres. Multiple mansions are housed across the properties, along with a number of swimming pools, a tennis court, gyms and saunas, multiple treehouses connected by rope bridges, and even a 5,000-square-foot underground shelter, according to the Robb Report. Little else is known about this very mysterious — and very large –property holding. Estimated cost: $59 million Zuckerberg has purchased two properties along Lake Tahoe and has been at work grouping them into a seven-building joint compound that will feature additional guesthouses, offices and a spa. Estimated cost: $43 million Zuckerberg primarily hangs his hat in Palo Alto, in a series of neighboring homes, pools and offices. Estimated cost: $23 million Like Bezos, Zuckerberg has set himself up with a strikingly expensive home in Washington, D.C., following the most recent presidential election. At 15,400 square feet, the mansion is practically a compound unto itself, one that serves as a home base for Zuckerberg as his interests become increasingly political.

National CineMedia (NASDAQ:NCMI) investors are sitting on a loss of 79% if they invested five years ago
Some stocks are best avoided. We really hate to see fellow investors lose their hard-earned money. Anyone who held National CineMedia, Inc. (NASDAQ:NCMI) for five years would be nursing their metaphorical wounds since the share price dropped 83% in that time. Furthermore, it's down 11% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders. While a drop like that is definitely a body blow, money isn't as important as health and happiness. Since shareholders are down over the longer term, lets look at the underlying fundamentals over the that time and see if they've been consistent with returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Because National CineMedia made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size. Over five years, National CineMedia grew its revenue at 1.6% per year. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. Nonetheless, it's fair to say the rapidly declining share price (down 13%, compound, over five years) suggests the market is very disappointed with this level of growth. We'd be pretty cautious about this one, although the sell-off may be too severe. We'd recommend focussing any further research on the likelihood of profitability in the foreseeable future, given the muted revenue growth. You can see below how earnings and revenue have changed over time (discover the exact values by clicking on the image). You can see how its balance sheet has strengthened (or weakened) over time in this free interactive graphic. It is important to consider the total shareholder return, as well as the share price return, for any given stock. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. It's fair to say that the TSR gives a more complete picture for stocks that pay a dividend. As it happens, National CineMedia's TSR for the last 5 years was -79%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. And there's no prize for guessing that the dividend payments largely explain the divergence! We're pleased to report that National CineMedia shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 19% over one year. That's including the dividend. There's no doubt those recent returns are much better than the TSR loss of 12% per year over five years. This makes us a little wary, but the business might have turned around its fortunes. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Consider for instance, the ever-present spectre of investment risk. We've identified 1 warning sign with National CineMedia , and understanding them should be part of your investment process.

York Water (NASDAQ:YORW) shareholders have endured a 26% loss from investing in the stock five years ago
The main aim of stock picking is to find the market-beating stocks. But every investor is virtually certain to have both over-performing and under-performing stocks. So we wouldn't blame long term The York Water Company (NASDAQ:YORW) shareholders for doubting their decision to hold, with the stock down 33% over a half decade. Now let's have a look at the company's fundamentals, and see if the long term shareholder return has matched the performance of the underlying business. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. In his essay The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville Warren Buffett described how share prices do not always rationally reflect the value of a business. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. During the unfortunate half decade during which the share price slipped, York Water actually saw its earnings per share (EPS) improve by 2.6% per year. Given the share price reaction, one might suspect that EPS is not a good guide to the business performance during the period (perhaps due to a one-off loss or gain). Alternatively, growth expectations may have been unreasonable in the past. By glancing at these numbers, we'd posit that the the market had expectations of much higher growth, five years ago. Having said that, we might get a better idea of what's going on with the stock by looking at other metrics. Revenue is actually up 8.6% over the time period. A more detailed examination of the revenue and earnings may or may not explain why the share price languishes; there could be an opportunity. The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image). It's probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. It's always worth keeping an eye on CEO pay, but a more important question is whether the company will grow earnings throughout the years. So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think York Water will earn in the future (free profit forecasts). When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. Arguably, the TSR gives a more comprehensive picture of the return generated by a stock. In the case of York Water, it has a TSR of -26% for the last 5 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. This is largely a result of its dividend payments! Investors in York Water had a tough year, with a total loss of 9.3% (including dividends), against a market gain of about 12%. However, keep in mind that even the best stocks will sometimes underperform the market over a twelve month period. Regrettably, last year's performance caps off a bad run, with the shareholders facing a total loss of 5% per year over five years. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Take risks, for example - York Water has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is significant) we think you should know about. If you are like me, then you will not want to miss this free list of undervalued small caps that insiders are buying. Please note, the market returns quoted in this article reflect the market weighted average returns of stocks that currently trade on American exchanges. — Investing narratives with Fair Values Vita Life Sciences Set for a 12.72% Revenue Growth While Tackling Operational Challenges By Robbo – Community Contributor Fair Value Estimated: A$2.42 · 0.1% Overvalued Vossloh rides a €500 billion wave to boost growth and earnings in the next decade By Chris1 – Community Contributor Fair Value Estimated: €78.41 · 0.1% Overvalued Intuitive Surgical Will Transform Healthcare with 12% Revenue Growth By Unike – Community Contributor Fair Value Estimated: $325.55 · 0.6% Undervalued View more featured narratives — Have feedback on this article?
