About PubMatic, Inc.

PubMatic, Inc. is a U.S.-based advertising technology company listed on the NASDAQ in the United States under the ticker PUBM. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, the company was built around a publisher-first thesis: digital content owners should retain control over their inventory, data, and monetization. Over time, PubMatic has positioned itself as a specialized programmatic advertising infrastructure provider operating across the open internet. The company’s business is anchored in an AI-powered, unified platform that connects buyers, publishers, data partners, and commerce media participants. Historically strongest on the sell side, PubMatic has expanded beyond traditional supply-side platform functionality into buyer-oriented solutions, curation and activation tools, and first-party data monetization capabilities. Its core offering set includes publisher monetization software, yield optimization tools, transparent media buying solutions, and products tailored to CTV, mobile app, and omnichannel environments. From a competitive standpoint, PubMatic is differentiated as an independent ad tech infrastructure layer focused on transparency, publisher control, and operational efficiency. The company operates globally and serves a broad base of premium publishers and data partners, giving it access to substantial impression volumes and transaction flow across multiple ad formats. That global footprint supports scale, but PubMatic remains exposed to advertising demand cyclicality, privacy-related changes in the digital ecosystem, and competition from larger platforms and integrated DSP ecosystems. Recent developments underscore a strategic push toward AI-led product innovation. In 2025 and 2026, PubMatic highlighted launches and expansions around AgenticOS, AI Insights, and an AI-enhanced media buying platform. The company also emphasized strategic partnerships in CTV, technical collaboration with NVIDIA, and continued share repurchases, suggesting a disciplined capital allocation framework. For investors, PubMatic represents a digital advertising infrastructure name with structural exposure to CTV growth, video monetization, and marketing automation, rather than a traditional media company.
