U.S. Digital Ad Spending Will Rise to $172 Billion by 2021

到2021年美国数字广告支出将增长至1720亿美元

—according to a forecast by eMarketer. That would be a third more than this year.

这是eMarketer的预测。这一数字将比今年高出三分之一。

One way to play that explosive growth could be to invest in Trade Desk (TTD). The company’s platform is used by ad buyers to create and manage their campaigns. Trade Desk then takes a cut of spending.

投资于这股强劲增长势头的一种方法是投资Trade Desk (TTD)。购买广告的人使用这家公司的平台来创建和管理他们的广告，该公司然后从中抽取提成。

Investors are already excited about the opportunity. Trade Desk stock has more than doubled this year. But several analysts see it continuing to climb in 2020.

这一投资机会已经受到投资者的追捧。Trade Desk的股价今年已上涨了一倍以上。但是一些分析师认为，该股将在2020年继续攀升。

Astralis Group is Going for a Valuation of $75.5 Million

Astralis Group的估值为7550万美元

—in its initial public offering today. And the Denmark-based company isn’t like any other publicly traded one out there today. That’s because it’s an e-sports team, active in three video-game leagues where players compete for prizes.

该公司今日进行IPO。这家位于丹麦的公司和如今其他任何一家上市公司都不太一样，这是因为它是一个电子竞技团队，活跃在三个视频游戏联盟中，玩家在游戏中争夺奖品。

Competitive videogaming is already a big business—one estimate puts revenue at more than $1.1 billion this year. Astralis’ IPO will be the first pure-play opportunity to invest in the fast-growing trend. Investors will be watching how e-sports’ public-market debut performs.

竞技视频游戏已经成为了一项很大的业务，据估计今年的收入将超过11亿美元。Astralis的IPO为投资者提供了首个借助这股增长趋势的投资机会。投资者将密切关注电子竞技领域第一家上市公司交易首日的表现。
