## Profile
Teads Holding Co. is the surviving public parent created when Outbrain acquired the original Teads from Altice in early 2025 and rebranded the combined entity around the better-known ad-tech name. The rename took effect operationally on Feb. 3, 2025 and legally on June 9, 2025, with the Nasdaq ticker flipping from OB to TEAD on June 10, 2025. "Outbrain" persists as a recommendation product line and a legacy brand inside the Teads Holding parent, not as a separate company.

For ad buyers, the practical read is that Teads now sits at the intersection of premium open-web video, outstream, and a growing CTV business anchored by exclusive smart-TV inventory deals — most visibly the renewed and geographically expanded LG Ad Solutions partnership announced in April 2026, which adds CEE markets and folds LG HomeScreen video into Teads Ad Manager self-serve.
