Analyst Note: NEXN (Nexxen International Ltd.)

Date: 2026-06-13 Subject: Structural Setup Analysis & Business Fundamentals

1. Structural Readiness

Current State: Forming

• Current Price: $8.60
• Breakout Level (Resistance): $12.60
• Entry Strategy:
• Conservative Entry: Not yet available (requires a confirmed close above $12.60).
• Aggressive Entry: $6.79 (Pre-breakout / forming entry).
• Extension: None recorded.
• Volatility Context: Current ATR is 4.1% (High). This places the stock in the historical "sweet spot" for structural quality, indicating sufficient volatility to support a move without the extreme risk associated with >8% ATR environments.

2. Thesis Layer

Thesis Classification: TACTICAL / Setup-Led Macro Context: There is NO named secular thesis or macro theme attached to this name as of 2026-06-13. The investment case is strictly driven by the quality of the technical setup (the Coil structure) and the immediate business fundamentals reported by management. We do not invent a macro narrative; we judge the name on its structural readiness and the strength of its operational data.

3. Business Fundamentals

Company Overview: Nexxen International Ltd. (formerly Tremor International Ltd.) operates a comprehensive, integrated software platform facilitating end-to-end video-first advertising. The company serves a global client base including ad buyers, brands, agencies, and publishers across Israel, the U.S., Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Business Model: The company generates revenue primarily through programmatic advertising. Its ecosystem consists of:

Key Operational Evidence (as of May 13, 2026 Earnings):

• Demand Side Platform (DSP): Provides advertisers with flexible options (managed or direct) for real-time campaign deployment.
• Supply Side Platform (SSP): Furnishes publishers with data access and tools to optimize inventory.
• Data Management Platform (DMP): Integrates DSP and SSP to leverage diverse data sources.
• Revenue Growth: Management expects Contribution ex-TAC to reach $382M–$397M (midpoint >10% YoY growth). Programmatic revenue is expected to be $374M–$388M (midpoint ~12% YoY growth).
• Channel Mix Shift: Q1 Programmatic revenue was $81.9M (up 14% YoY), marking a record quarter. Management notes a deliberate shift toward "durable, higher growth, higher quality programmatic channels."
• CTV Momentum: Connected TV (CTV) revenue returned to growth in Q1 (+12% YoY), with management citing "momentum building into Q2" and a "clear path to acceleration in the second half."
• Client Acquisition: In 2026, the company has already onboarded more new enterprise clients than in all of 2025. These new clients have the potential to generate >$1M in annual spend each.
• Strategic Partnerships: Recent deals include exclusive programmatic access to TCL's native on-screen inventory (U.S./Canada) and TiVo Ads native home screen inventory (North America/U.K.).
• Mobile Acceleration: Mobile revenue increased 18% YoY in Q1, with early signs of acceleration driven by direct SDK integration with Unity.
• Concentration Risk: As of the March 4, 2026 filing, two buyers represented 12.1% and 11.3% of revenue, indicating moderate concentration but not extreme dependency.

4. Archetype and Conviction

Archetype: Growth Leader Rationale: The name fits the "Growth Leader" archetype based on the consistent double-digit growth in programmatic and CTV segments, the successful mix shift toward higher-quality channels, and the aggressive onboarding of high-value enterprise clients. The business is not in a recovery phase (deep value) nor a defensive cycle; it is in an active expansion phase supported by new inventory partnerships (TCL, TiVo) and platform integrations (Unity).

Conviction Stack:

• Thesis Strength: Low (Tactical only, no macro tailwind).
• Evidence Quality: High. Recent earnings (May 2026) provide specific, forward-looking guidance that beats previous expectations, alongside concrete operational wins (new clients, new inventory).
• Structural Quality: Moderate to High. The ATR of 4.1% is within the optimal range for a structural move. The setup is "Forming," meaning the structure is sound but the catalyst (breakout) has not occurred.
• Setup Readiness: Partial. The 69% historical breakout rate for forming coils suggests a favorable probability, but the setup remains unconfirmed until $12.60 is cleared.
• Valuation Context: The financial spine indicates a forward consensus EPS of $1.05 for FY1 and $1.21 for FY2. While the absolute P/E is not provided in the evidence, the growth trajectory (10-12% revenue growth) supports a premium multiple if the breakout occurs.

5. Invalidations, Strengtheners, and Gaps

Strengtheners:

Evidence Gaps:

• A confirmed close above $12.60 (Breakout Level).
• Continued acceleration in CTV or Mobile revenue in subsequent quarterly reports.
• Further expansion of the enterprise client base beyond the current 2026 onboarding pace.
• Margin Profile: While Contribution ex-TAC is guided, specific net margin or operating margin targets for 2026 are not explicitly detailed in the provided evidence, leaving the profitability quality of the growth slightly opaque.
• Capex/Lead Times: No specific data on capital expenditure plans or lead times for the new inventory integrations (TCL/TiVo) is available in the current evidence set.

PRIVATE ANALYST CALL

Judgment: Speculative Confidence: medium Key risks: Setup remains unconfirmed (Forming state) requiring a $12.60 breakout; Moderate customer concentration with two buyers representing ~23% of revenue; No named secular thesis to provide macro tailwinds; Volatility could trigger stop-loss before breakout. Sizing hint: Position size should reflect the partial readiness of the setup; smaller than a confirmed breakout trade, larger than a pure momentum chase. Expected path: Management expects continued momentum in CTV and programmatic channels through H2 2026; structural implication is a potential re-rating if the $12.60 resistance is cleared on volume. Expected horizon: 3 to 6 months for the setup to resolve (breakout or invalidation). Failure mode to watch: A daily close below $6.40, which would invalidate the coil structure and signal a breakdown in the support base.
