Investing.com -- KeyBanc Capital Markets cut price targets across a group of digital advertising and streaming stocks citing worsening ad agency checks and increased macro uncertainty.
The firm reduced revenue forecasts and price targets for eight names, including Overweight-rated Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Pinterest (NYSE:PINS), Spotify (NYSE:SPOT), and The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD).

Agency feedback now points to ad budget growth of just 3–5%, down from earlier expectations of 6–7%.
Checks have notably deteriorated, with agencies citing spending uncertainty among auto, CPG, and retail verticals, analysts wrote.
KeyBanc said the environment has entered a “pause” phase as companies reassess the impact of supply chain and consumer trends.
New price targets include $185 for Google, which was earlier $202, $645 for Meta, cut down from $710, and $1,000 for Netflix down by $100.
Meta remains KeyBanc’s top ad pick, supported by ongoing AI-driven product improvements, while Google is seen as more limited in ad load expansion but better positioned for cost controls.
KeyBanc also noted a preference for subscription-based models, calling Netflix and Spotify more defensive plays in a weaker ad market due to recurring revenue and improving monetization.
