Prognosis: Reddit Stock has potential to surpass Meta and Snap in the upcoming year
In a notable development, Reddit's second-quarter earnings report has received a positive market reception, marking a significant milestone for the high-potential tech company that has been under the spotlight recently.
At the helm of Reddit is CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman, who owns a 10% stake in the company and has been actively involved in recent share transactions. Under Huffman's leadership, Reddit has been at the centre of high-profile legal and business developments.
The second quarter saw a remarkable 78% increase in Reddit's revenue, reaching $500 million. This growth was bolstered by a significant boost in ad sales, which climbed by 84% to $465 million.
Analysts are projecting nearly 60% annual growth for Reddit's revenue for the full-year 2025, with a 31% boost in 2026. The collective estimate for Reddit's per-share profitability is $1.86 in 2026, a significant improvement over a $3.33 loss in 2024.
Initially, analysts had anticipated a revenue of less than $473 million for the third quarter. However, Reddit's guidance for the third quarter revenue is projected to be between $535 million and $545 million. Similarly, the guidance for the third quarter adjusted EBITDA is projected to be between $185 million and $195 million.
Reddit's daily active uniques (DAUq) increased by 21% year over year to over 21 million, demonstrating the platform's growing authority and utility. The company is providing a platform for meaningful discussion about a wide variety of topics, making it a go-to destination for users worldwide.
In an effort to enhance its advertising capabilities, Reddit is using artificial intelligence (AI) tools for ad creation. This allows advertisers to integrate real-time information and user comments into ads, creating a more engaging and personalised experience for users.
In May, Reddit launched dynamic product ads (DPA) which match topics of the site's "subreddits" and embed within them. This innovative approach is expected to further boost the company's revenue growth.
The analysts' recommendation for investing in Reddit stock is unhesitatingly positive. Despite comparatively higher valuations, with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 121 against Snap's under 37, and Meta's sub-29, Reddit has captured the zeitgeist and possesses the user stickiness, resources, and managerial acumen to maintain massive growth rates.
The GAAP profit for Reddit's second quarter was $89 million, a testament to the company's financial health. As Reddit continues to grow and innovate, it is poised to remain a key player in the social media landscape. With its stock market ticker RDDT, Reddit's future looks bright, and investors are eagerly watching its progress.
