Comps: Criteo S.A. (Nasdaq:CRTO), PROS Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRO)

We must keep in mind that while all of these companies have a market capitalization of over USD 1 billion, Perion Network and Criteo are advertising agencies and PROS Holdings is an optimization software company. With that being said, Perion Network has the advantage over the other two in earnings per share, price to earnings, profitability, return on equity, and revenue growth year-over-year. Furthermore, they beat the revenue outright of PROS Holdings and hold minimal debt relative to equity.
