↑ 0%MNTN, a performance marketing platform for Connected TV, has appointed two senior executives to support its growth. Garland Hill joins as the company's first Chief Revenue Officer, whilst Peter Blacker becomes Global Head of Premium Content. Hill previously served as Head of Growth Business at TikTok, where he scaled the mid-market division from zero to over $1 billion in revenue. He also held enterprise customer leadership roles at Meta. Blacker joins from NBCUniversal, where he spent 20 years and most recently led Streaming and Data Products, playing key roles in Peacock's launch and premium content monetisation. The appointments come as MNTN expands access to premium TV inventory, including live sports and news, for small and mid-sized businesses.
MNTN Inc. has reported record fourth-quarter results for 2025, with revenue surging 36% year-over-year to $87.1 million. The connected TV advertising platform achieved its first quarterly positive net income whilst expanding gross margins to 82%. The company's Performance TV platform saw active customers jump 63% to 3,632, driven by strong adoption amongst small and mid-sized businesses. Full-year adjusted EBITDA reached $68 million, despite a $6.4 million net loss attributed to IPO-related charges. For 2026, MNTN has issued revenue guidance of $345 million to $355 million and expects adjusted EBITDA of nearly $100 million. The company is deploying generative AI tools through QuickFrame AI to streamline customer onboarding and enhance campaign performance in the CTV advertising market.
Freshpaint, a healthcare marketing performance platform, has partnered with MNTN to enable privacy-compliant Connected TV advertising for healthcare marketers. The integration allows organisations to measure CTV campaign performance whilst maintaining HIPAA compliance and protecting patient data. Freshpaint captures conversions using privacy-first behavioural data, ensuring no Protected Health Information leaves the healthcare organisation's environment. Only de-identified conversion signals are sent to MNTN for campaign optimisation and reporting. The partnership addresses a longstanding challenge for healthcare marketers, who have typically found CTV too complex to measure and navigate whilst maintaining privacy compliance. Healthcare organisations can now attribute campaigns to specific actions like appointment bookings and purchases, proving return on investment without exposing sensitive patient information.
Magnite has partnered with MNTN to give advertisers access to premium streaming content, including live sports and news, with new ad formats and AI-driven targeting. Despite the partnership, Magnite's shares have declined 13% over 30 days and 25% over 90 days. The company reported revenue of $702.6 million and net income of $58 million. Shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 35.4x versus the US media industry average of 14.3x, suggesting overvaluation by traditional metrics. However, a discounted cash flow model estimates intrinsic value at $48.91 per share, compared to the current price of $14.29, indicating potential undervaluation. The company's one-year total shareholder return stands at negative 13%, whilst the five-year return shows a 61% decline.
MNTN Inc.'s (NYSE:MNTN) lock-up period ends on November 18th, allowing major shareholders and insiders to sell shares. MNTN issued 11.7 million shares in its IPO on May 22nd, raising $187.2 million at $16 per share. Analysts have mixed ratings, with a consensus "Moderate Buy" and a price target of $27.15. MNTN shares opened at $13.93, with a 12-month range of $13.30 to $32.49. Institutional investors own 72.9% of the stock.
