TheStreet: Verizon isn’t the only company that wants to bulk up on ad tech. Programmatic ad stocks are expected to be prime targets for M&A activity in the wake of Verizon’s $4.4 billion deal for AOL. “I think the sea change in the way digital media is being bought and sold will result in consolidation in ways we haven’t really thought of yet,” said Brett Huff, a media analyst at Stephens. Potential acquirers include ad tech companies, online publishers, enterprise software providers and other wireless carriers looking to squeeze more ad dollars from their video offerings.
