Magnite Inc., the largest independent omni-channel sell-side advertising platform, has unveiled its annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The report highlights significant growth driven by strategic investments, especially in the connected television (CTV) segment, while also addressing macroeconomic challenges.
