SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiveRamp® (NYSE: RAMP), the leading data collaboration platform, today announced that its Board of Directors increased the Company’s share repurchase authorization by $200 million to $1.5 billion and extended the expiration by one year to December 31, 2027.

LiveRamp’s Q4 results were met positively by the market, as the company delivered revenue in line with Wall Street expectations and significantly surpassed non-GAAP profit estimates. Management attributed the quarter’s performance to a combination of strong customer expansion, the growing adoption of its clean room and measurement offerings, and progress with usage-based pricing models for both direct brands and reseller partners. CEO Scott Howe highlighted notable upsell wins with major enterprise clients and pointed to the company’s record operating margin and free cash flow as evidence of improved execution. Demand for cross-platform measurement and commerce media use cases was particularly strong, further supporting growth in annual recurring revenue and customer count.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investors wagered geopolitical tension would be contained following the U.S. military's operation in Venezuela, with the Dow hitting a fresh record. Sentiment remained firmly "risk-on" for early 2026, with Wall Street prioritizing domestic economic strength over foreign turbulence. Analysts noted that while the event raises short-term supply questions, the market largely viewed the potential stabilization of Venezuela's vast oil reserves as a long-term economic positive. Also, investor attention turned to the annual CES 2026 technology conference in Las Vegas, with artificial intelligence emerging as a central theme. Attention shifted to tech giants like Nvidia and AMD, whose CEOs were headlining the event. This focus continued the AI-fuelled momentum that drove market gains the previous year. The rally had global reach, with an MSCI Asia Pacific Index surge being driven by heavyweight chip names like Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. The event reinforced investor confidence in the long-term demand for the booming AI and chipmaking trend, boosting shares of companies across the semiconductor and technology space.
