Nexxen International Ltd. (NEXN), an Israel-headquartered advertising technology platform operating demand-side and supply-side platforms powered by the Nexxen Data Platform, staged a powerful rally in Thursday's session. The stock climbed roughly 10.8% to about $10.03, up from a prior close of $9.05. The advance was driven almost entirely by the company's record third-quarter 2026 financial results, which beat expectations and showcased accelerating momentum in high-growth areas including connected TV and AI-enabled advertising tools.
The centerpiece of the move was a third-quarter report that delivered record revenue of $102.9 million, up 9% year over year, alongside a 22% jump in Adjusted EBITDA to $34.5 million. Non-IFRS diluted earnings per share reached $0.32, up 60% from $0.20 a year earlier and comfortably ahead of the roughly $0.28 consensus estimate. IFRS diluted earnings per share more than doubled to $0.18 from $0.07.
Just as important to investors was the profitability trajectory. Adjusted EBITDA margin on a Contribution ex-TAC basis expanded to 34%, up from 30% a year ago, marking a sharp sequential improvement after a soft first half. The earnings quality reinforced the view that NEXN is delivering operating leverage, not merely a cost-driven beat.
Beyond the headline numbers, the growth mix underpinned the bullish reaction. Connected TV revenue surged 39% year over year to a record $34.1 million, now representing 35% of programmatic revenue, up from 27% a year earlier. The company recently onboarded premium CTV partners, and its standardized smart TV home-screen inventory across major OEMs positions it for further expansion. Management expects a record CTV revenue quarter in Q4.
Investors also rewarded the company's positioning around "agentic AI." Nexxen reported live in-platform AI agents across customer workflows and said eight agency and holding-company partners are actively testing its AI capabilities, framing the platform as an early leader in the industry's shift toward AI-driven advertising.
Forward-looking commentary added fuel to the rally. Management characterized October as likely its best top-line month ever and projected all-time records in Contribution ex-TAC, programmatic revenue, and CTV for the fourth quarter, while guiding to a Q4 Adjusted EBITDA margin above 40%. The company also extended its $40 million share repurchase authorization and said it expects to resume buybacks in the second half of Q4, a signal of confidence in its balance sheet — which carries no long-term debt.
The move unfolded on meaningfully elevated volume, with trading activity well above recent daily averages as investors positioned around the earnings release and conference call. The rally was company-specific rather than a broad-market phenomenon, reflecting the stock's sensitivity to its quarterly catalyst and growing investor appetite for ad-tech names with CTV and AI exposure. The jump pushed shares through the $10 threshold intraday, a level the stock had not held for several months.
Looking ahead, the focus shifts to whether NEXN can convert its fourth-quarter momentum into durable 2027 growth. Key watchpoints include execution on the Nexxen TV Home Screen rollout, the pace of CTV and mobile in-app expansion, and any progress on the bolt-on acquisitions management has signaled it is evaluating. Risks include decelerating growth in legacy channels, a wide implied Q4 guidance range, and macroeconomic or geopolitical volatility that could pressure advertising budgets. The resumption of share repurchases and continued margin discipline will be closely monitored by investors seeking confirmation that the margin inflection is sustainable.
