"Well so far you have been wrong with the quarters updates? "
Have I?
I said I was expecting Q2 to be significantly ahead as it compares to a 'quieter' Q1-2021 and Q2-2020, when covid initially hit. Q2 was significantly ahead, as expected.
Industry Challenges/Privacy laws are increasingly. The investigation into IAB were delayed last year and have resumed this year.

I see the court case against their Alphonso as a red flag and it's impact is not likely to be known for months. You may not see it as a red flag, that is your choice.
What they said in their fy2020 results.. on 10th March was:
"TV intelligence solutions
The Company’s ongoing strategy relating to connected TV (CTV) and addressable TV retargeting continues to evolve, with clear value now attributed to Tremor’s end-to-end platform further strengthened by the upcoming introduction of our enhanced suite of TV intelligence solutions which was accelerated by LG’s acquisition of Alphonso and the winding down of Alphonso as an exclusive technology partner of Tremor."

16th March, they announced the IPO!

Then 25th May:
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 18, 2021, Tremor Video, Inc. (“Tremor�) filed a complaint against
Alphonso, Inc. (“Alphonso�) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York,
County of New York. The claim is for breach of contract, tortious interference
with business relations, intentional interference with contractual relations,
unjust enrichment, and conversion. The lawsuit arises out of Alphonso’s breach
of a Strategic Partnership Agreement and an Advance Payment Obligation and
Security Agreement (“Security Agreement�) with Tremor, along with related
misconduct. Tremor complaint is for damages and other relief, including an
order foreclosing on Alphonso’s collateral under the Security Agreement, from
the Court.

That tells me they hastened the move away from Alphonso and there was a sudden need to list (with placing) within days of the fy results being published, timing which coincides with the alphonso dispute.
rthm/Trmr have a history of court cases/placings.
Best to trade and not get caught out again.
