Millennial Media Inc. is currently trading at $16.42, with a market cap of $1.25 billion.
The company released a preliminary third quarter financial report earlier this month, highlighting an anticipated revenue growth of 85 percent compared to the second quarter.
“We are delivering greater value to our advertising customers and developer partners through the use of technology and data which, in turn, is driving increased demand for our services…” Palmieri said in the preliminary report. “The fact that we were able to accelerate revenue growth while generating positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) during the quarter demonstrates the leverage in our business model.”
Millennial Media will officially announce its third quarter results on Nov. 5.
