The memo

State of play · RAMP

RAMP traded near $28.8 in April 2026. FY26 revenue ~$720M growing ~10%. Operating margin low-20s. CEO Scott Howe. Post-cookie tailwind real + international expansion.

Thesis angle

LiveRamp sits at the intersection of identity + data collaboration + AI. Post-cookie identity graph + Safe Haven clean rooms are thesis-positive for the AI-agent era: agents need identity resolution + privacy-preserving data collaboration. Services-as-software read: identity resolution + audience activation + clean-room workflows all substitute analyst + data-science hours.

The framing

Bulls see LiveRamp as the identity + clean-room infrastructure layer for AI-era advertising + data collaboration. Bears cite growth deceleration + ad-tech cyclicality. Services-as-software read is thesis-positive.

Two forces, opposite directions

Tailwind · Post-cookie identity + clean rooms + AI agents.

Cookie deprecation + privacy regulation drive demand for RampID identity + clean rooms. AI agents need identity resolution to act across data. LiveRamp infrastructure is a picks-and-shovels play.

Headwind · Growth deceleration + ad-tech cyclicality.
