Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved

Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Here are five key points explaining why Reddit (RDDT) stock moved by -0.5% during the approximate time period from August 31, 2025, to December 17, 2025: 1. General Stock Volatility: Reddit (RDDT) is known for being a highly volatile stock, with a history of significant price swings. A -0.5% movement could be a result of its routine daily fluctuations or minor shifts in broader market sentiment. 2. Profit-Taking: Following a period of substantial gains in 2025, where shares had surged significantly, some investors likely engaged in profit-taking, leading to minor pullbacks as they realized their returns from previously "expensive" levels.

About Reddit (RDDT)

Our mission is to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world. We built Reddit with the belief that communities unlock the power of human creativity and create a sense of belonging and empowerment for their members. Our over 100,000 active communities have channeled the power of human creativity to grow Reddit since our founding. We believe the world needs community more than ever, and that this represents our greatest opportunity to further enrich the lives of everyone in the world. The Power of Reddit’s Communities Reddit is a global, digital city where anyone in the world can join a community to learn from one another, engage in authentic conversations, explore passions, research new hobbies, exchange goods and services, create new communities and experiences, share a few laughs, and find belonging. People are diverse and have multiple interests. Just like in a city, where citizens are part of multiple subcommunities, on Reddit, users often belong to multiple communities. At Reddit, users can dive into anything, and if a community does not already exist around a particular topic, they can create one. In December 2023, more than 500 million visitors(1), and in the three months ended December 31, 2023, an average of 73.1 million daily active uniques (“DAUq”), around the world came together on Reddit – continuously adding to our longstanding and constantly evolving human archive of information. They come together to share the rhythm of their daily discoveries, ask questions and receive advice, research before making a purchase decision, hear reactions to recent events, and thrive as a community. Built on shared interests, passion, and trust, Reddit has a community for everyone. Communities on Reddit are organized based on specific interests and are called subreddits. Within subreddits, Redditors engage in active and in-depth conversations by sharing experiences, submitting links, uploading images and videos, and replying to one another in comment threads on any topic. Subreddits are denoted by an “r/” before their names: r/ explainlikeimfive helps people learn anything with child-friendly explanations; r/ lgbt helps people find their identity; and r/ BeyondTheBump helps people transition from pregnancy to parenthood. Redditors invest time to shape their communities, share their experiences, send support and supplies when someone is down on their luck, and even code scripts and develop tools to advance their communities. Similar to how cities are made from cement and steel, but are really built by their citizens, Reddit is made from code and algorithms, but is really built by our users. It is a place where human ingenuity and creativity thrive. We empower users to participate and to shape Reddit by sharing content, upvoting or downvoting, and commenting. In addition, Redditors themselves not only create and build communities, but they also moderate these communities as volunteers to help keep them safe, vibrant, and true to themselves. Like cities, we design tools that give communities what they need to make their communities their own and evolve over time, rebuilding and reshaping by adapting to new technologies and reflecting new cultural trends. Newly created subreddits create a sense of belonging for their members, spurring the creation of more new subreddits to continue the cycle. In this way, Reddit’s community ecosystem grows and expands with the interests and passions of our users, keeping Reddit on trend and resilient to fading fads. Reddit’s community ecosystem is organically built upon shared interests, passions, and trust rather than friends, celebrities, and their followers. This distinction results in a unique sense of belonging, privacy, and authenticity for our users. We do not require that users disclose their identities, freeing them from having to perform and the associated pressures to always appear perfect. As a result, users come to Reddit for fundamentally distinct purposes, with each adding incremental value to our entire community. Redditors are free to be vulnerable or ask questions they would not be able to ask anywhere else. Powerful Advertising Engine Built Around Context and User Interest These qualities not only make the experience more enjoyable for users, they also make Reddit a unique platform for advertisers due to our intentional, authentic, trusted nature and our strength in contextual and interest-based advertising. For advertisers, we provide access to a unique and highly engaged audience where our trusted, passionate communities drive recommendations on brands and buying decisions. Whether users come to Reddit through a third-party search engine or if they initiate their search on Reddit, our users often have high intent – they are looking for answers or recommendations that they can trust, and these users can benefit from the conversations and contextual ads that are displayed on Reddit. According to a 2023 survey we commissioned of 4,000 U.S. Redditors aged 18 and older (the “Vertical Path to Purchase Survey”), 75% of respondents said they believe Reddit is a trustworthy place to inform their decision to buy a new product across specified consumer product categories. A Valuable Source of Conversational Data and Knowledge Over time, Reddit has evolved to become one of the internet’s largest corpuses of information, with over one billion posts and over 16 billion comments through December 31, 2023, and an average of 1.2 million posts daily and 7.5 million comments daily in 2023. Reddit was also among the top ten most-visited sites in the United States in December 2023, according to Similarweb. Our content is particularly important for artificial intelligence (“AI”) – it is a foundational part of how many of the leading large language models (“LLMs”) have been trained. Furthermore, we use internally built and trained models to improve many aspects of Reddit, including user onboarding, content translation, and moderation and safety. Our massive corpus of conversational data and knowledge is what makes us unique, and we believe its value will continue to grow over time as our user-generated data continues to grow. Entrepreneurial User Economy Commerce is another area of growth that has emerged organically on Reddit. In fact, new community-based marketplaces have already sprung up specifically for commercial purposes, such as r/ PhotoShopRequest, where users can request photoshop services for payment, or r/ RandomActsofCards, where users request and send cards to each other and spread a little bit of joy around the world. We want to develop this user-powered economy on Reddit by providing our users and creators with the requisite tools and incentives to drive continued creation, improvements, and commerce. In turn, we believe these initiatives will open additional monetization channels for us. Our high gross margin and capital-efficient business model is simple and scalable and allows us to invest deliberately in our global opportunity. Why Users Come to Reddit The internet has given people the tools to redefine how we live. We have search engines to find content and social networks to share and follow each other. Our community of communities sets itself apart with its unique combination of characteristics and is designed to provide users with a trusted place to be authentic to themselves in sharing and discovering while maintaining their privacy. Open, Growing Archive of Human Knowledge (2005– ) Over the last 18 years, Reddit has become one of the internet’s largest open archives of human experiences. With over one billion posts and over 16 billion comments organized into communities, Reddit content provides authentic, human perspectives across almost any topic imaginable. Our constantly updated user-generated content provides a vast collection of human experiences, answers, and conversations and provides a source of fresh ideas. Reddit’s influence and relevance organically grows, and Reddit quickly responds to new topics based on real experiences. Topical communities such as r/ travel, r/ vanderpumprules, r/ MachineLearning, r/ cricket, r/ boxoffice, and r/ TaylorSwift have had meaningful breakouts as the headlines have evolved. As a result of Reddit’s scale and longevity, our content library is a broad memory of human interest, organically expanding and deepening into more topics. At times, Reddit may be the only place to find the information users are looking for, and users searching for information often come to Reddit and discover conversations taking place there. Centered on Interests, with Unmatched Breadth and Depth of Human Knowledge Time spent on Reddit is guided by personal intention and interests. Breadth of communities and depth of engagement means that Redditors benefit from a trove of knowledge organized by topic that we believe is unmatched by any other internet platform. Reddit is home to over 100,000 active subreddits, with over 500 subreddits that each have at least one million subscribers, which cover a wide variety of topics—r/ wholesomememes, r/ philosophy, r/ Pets, r/ InteriorDesign, r/ NBA, and r/ worldnews, to name a few—and can be creative, humorous, informative, inspirational, absurd, serious, or contemplative. We generally find that the longer Redditors have been on Reddit, the more engaged they become. As of December 2023, when someone first makes an account, the average active minutes for logged-in users on Reddit starts at approximately 20 minutes per day, but increases to over 35 minutes a day for those who have been on Reddit for over five years and even over 45 minutes a day for those who have been on Reddit for over seven years. According to a 2023 survey we commissioned of almost 800 U.S. Redditors (the “User Perceptions Survey”), 95% of respondents said there is a community for everyone on Reddit, 85% said Reddit is where they learn about the topics they love the most, and 83% recognized conversations on Reddit as more on-topic than anywhere else on social media, each result being higher than what respondents say for other major social media platforms. People-powered Curation for Authentic Interactions and Trusted Content Our differentiated community approach underlies the interactions on our platform: Reddit is centered around human creativity and belonging. The content found in Reddit communities is curated by people, creating a highly relevant content experience that attracts users to our platform. Every post and comment on Reddit, regardless of the author, starts with one upvote, and must earn its visibility through community members upvoting it and boosting it to the subreddit’s front page. Unlike traditional social media, voting (both up and down) is completely anonymous, encouraging broader Redditor participation. This unique upvoting and downvoting system not only curates the quality and relevance of content, but also determines the prominence of a certain piece of content. According to the User Perceptions Survey, 76% of respondents pay more attention to things they see on Reddit than the things they see on other social media platforms. In a separate survey we commissioned of almost 500 U.S. Redditors, 76% of respondents agreed that “people post things that are honest and truthful,” which was higher than each of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and YouTube. We believe community-driven promotion of content leads to greater trust of the content on Reddit. Authentic and Trusted Recommendations Reddit’s community-powered recommendations are a foundational part of why so many users visit Reddit on a daily basis. In a world where consumers are increasingly inundated with curated messaging and product placement, Reddit stands out as a refreshing alternative, offering authentic human recommendations that people can actually trust. We see that trust reflected in the high velocity of people coming to Reddit to find great content and trusted recommendations. In 2023, every second an average of two users asked for a recommendation, each yielding an average of 14 personalized responses. According to a 2023 survey we commissioned of Redditors across the United States, the United Kingdom (the “UK”), Australia, Canada, and Germany aged 18 and over, 94% of 4,500 respondents reported that they engaged with recommendation content on Reddit in the last year, and 73% of 1,845 respondents said they are likely to follow the guidance of recommendations they receive on Reddit when considering an important purchase. Flexible Canvas for Self- and Community-expression Every subreddit is a flexible canvas for communities to express themselves through a customizable experience. We give communities the ability to choose the format for conversations in their communities—text, image, video, opinion polls, chatrooms—which enables them to create dynamic and engaging experiences. We give moderators the creative tools to design the look and feel of communities, and we give developers an open application programming interface (“API”) to build bots and create features that shape their communities, meaning what a community envisions for itself drives its unique development. Conversations flow across Reddit through cross-posting, where a post from one community can be shared into another community to spur new conversation with a different audience. Layered Moderation, Community Management, and Safety Supports Trust We are committed to continuously enhancing our policies and processes to promote the safety of users and moderators, and the health of our platform. Our approach is akin to a democratic city, wherein everyone has the ability to vote and self-organize, follow a set of common rules, and establish community-specific norms. This approach gives Redditors a voice and agency in the process and also means that any content that gains traction on Reddit has been reviewed in context by humans. Communities self-organize and create subreddit-level rules that are tailored to their unique circumstances, and volunteer moderators within the community enforce those rules. Moderators have context as leaders and members of their communities to define and enforce the rules to create a harmonious community experience. The result is that each community has its own unique environment in which Redditors can express their genuine perspective and share real experiences while discouraging bad behavior. We backstop this bottoms-up organic moderation engine with our site-wide Content Policy, a set of overarching rules and policies that govern all content on Reddit. Our Content Policy is intended to be protective, not intrusive. It helps protect against harassment, bullying, and violence – especially hate based on identity or vulnerability. (1) Each visitor is a user whom we can identify with a unique identifier who has visited a page on the Reddit website or opened a Reddit application at least once during the month. We use unique identifiers to deduplicate multiple visits from the same visitor. Our monthly visitor number involves a similar calculation process as our weekly active unique (“WAUq”) metric and daily active unique (“DAUq”) metric, except over a longer period of time. We were incorporated as a Delaware corporation in May 2011. Our principal executive offices are located at 303 2nd Street, South Tower, 5th Floor, San Francisco, California.

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

The public company Reddit (RDDT) faces several key risks to its business:

Monetization Challenges and Intense Competition: Reddit has historically struggled to effectively monetize its large user base compared to other social media platforms. The company faces significant competition for advertising revenue from established giants like Meta (Facebook) and emerging platforms such as TikTok. Converting its growing user base, particularly internationally, into consistent and higher revenue streams remains a challenge due to varying online behaviors and the need for improved ad targeting.
Dependence on Unpaid Moderators and Content Moderation Issues: Reddit's operational model heavily relies on a large force of unpaid volunteer moderators who are crucial for enforcing rules and maintaining the health of its communities. A failure to retain these moderators or maintain positive relationships with them could significantly impact the business. The open and user-generated nature of Reddit's content also presents ongoing challenges in content moderation, which can pose risks to brand safety for advertisers and potentially undermine user engagement.
Stock Volatility and "Meme Stock" Potential: Reddit has acknowledged in its IPO filings that the participation of its own users, particularly those associated with communities like r/WallStreetBets, could lead to extreme volatility in its stock price. This "meme stock" phenomenon could cause rapid and substantial fluctuations in share value that are unrelated to Reddit's fundamental business performance. Some users have expressed negative sentiment towards the company's IPO and even threatened to "short" the stock, which could impact user growth and investor confidence.

**Competition for community formation and engagement from real-time platforms like Discord:** While not new, Discord's continuous growth and evolution into a primary platform for diverse online communities, offering real-time chat, voice, and highly customizable private spaces, presents an emerging threat to Reddit's traditionally asynchronous, public forum model. As new communities and niche interest groups increasingly opt for Discord's more immediate and interactive environment, it directly competes with Reddit for user acquisition, content creation, and overall engagement, especially among younger demographics.
**Disintermediation by advanced AI models as primary information retrieval tools:** Reddit is a vast repository of user-generated knowledge, reviews, and troubleshooting discussions. The proliferation of powerful AI chatbots (e.g., ChatGPT, Google Gemini) capable of directly answering complex queries by synthesizing information (often sourced from Reddit itself) threatens to bypass Reddit as a direct destination for users seeking specific information or opinions. If users increasingly obtain answers directly from AI without visiting Reddit, it could lead to a significant reduction in direct traffic, user engagement, and consequently, advertising revenue, effectively making AI an intermediary between users and Reddit's content.

Reddit's primary products and services include advertising and premium subscriptions, operating within the broader online community platform market. The addressable markets for these services are substantial:

Advertising

Reddit's main revenue stream is advertising, encompassing ad sales, sponsored posts, and promoted content. The addressable market for digital and social media advertising is global:

The global digital advertising market was estimated at $563.4 billion in 2021 and is forecast to reach $1,249.3 billion by 2027, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7% between 2022 and 2027. Other estimates project the global digital advertising market to reach $1.1 trillion by 2030, with a CAGR of 11% from 2024.
The global social media advertising market size is expected to reach $262.62 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2021 to 2028. More recent projections indicate the social media advertising market is projected to grow from $121.66 billion in 2024 to $302.41 billion by 2032. Another report shows the global social media advertising market size was $151 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $516.17 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.4%.

Premium Subscriptions

Reddit offers premium subscriptions (formerly Reddit Gold), which provide users with an ad-free experience and other exclusive features. While a specific global market size for social media premium subscriptions is not readily available, Reddit's own premium subscription revenue is estimated to be approximately $32.57 million.

Online Community Platforms

Reddit operates as a prominent online community platform. The broader market for online community platforms and management software reflects the ecosystem in which Reddit thrives:

The global online community platform market size was valued at approximately $1.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $3 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of about 10.5% from 2025 to 2033. Other sources estimate the market size at $2.0 billion in 2024, projected to reach $6.0 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 15%.
The global online community management software market was valued at $5.3 billion and is projected to reach $11.72 billion by the end of 2030, growing at a CAGR of 12% over the forecast period of 2024–2030.

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

Reddit (RDDT) is poised for future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years, driven by several key initiatives and market trends:

Advertising Revenue Expansion

Reddit's primary revenue driver, advertising, is expected to continue its robust growth. The company is enhancing its advertising offerings through automation, higher Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), and the introduction of new, interactive ad formats. International expansion is also a significant factor, with Reddit leveraging machine translation and local partnerships to extend its reach into new global markets, including a planned expansion into 35 countries in 2025. Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in accelerating ad business growth by improving targeting and lower-funnel capabilities, leading to higher returns on ad spend (ROAS).
Data Licensing Deals

A significant and high-margin revenue stream for Reddit is the licensing of its vast corpus of user-generated content for training large language models (LLMs) and other AI applications. Reddit has already secured deals with major tech companies like Google and OpenAI for this purpose. The company's CEO has indicated ongoing discussions with numerous other potential partners, highlighting the substantial demand for Reddit's authentic and constantly updated human-generated data.
User Growth and Enhanced Monetization

Continued growth in Reddit's user base, particularly Daily Active Uniques (DAUq) and Weekly Active Uniques (WAUq), forms a foundational driver for increased revenue. The platform has seen consistent increases in user engagement, with a reported 19% year-over-year growth in DAUq in FQ3 2025. Furthermore, Reddit is focused on improving its Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), which saw a 41% increase in Q3 2025. Efforts include converting more "logged-out" users, who primarily access content through search engines, into more monetizable "logged-in" users by offering a better platform experience and using improved machine learning models for shopping promotions.
Launch of New Products and Services

Reddit is actively developing and rolling out new products and services designed to create additional revenue streams and boost user engagement. One such initiative is "Reddit Answers," an AI-powered summary feature that has already gained traction with over a million weekly users as of Q1 2025. This feature aims to provide new reasons for users to visit the site and presents new monetization opportunities. Additionally, plans for "paid subreddits" are in the pipeline, which could attract more content creators and introduce another direct revenue stream for the company.
