On July 31, Reddit declined 10.36% overnight, trading at $159.6/share, with turnover of $798.0. The stock experienced a sell-the-news pullback despite reporting Q2 results that significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations.
Reddit posted Q2 earnings of $1.25 per share, beating the analyst consensus of $0.95 by 31.58%, representing a 177.78% year-over-year increase. Revenue reached $804.9 million, up 61% year-over-year, well above the $730.3 million estimate. For Q3, management guided revenue of $860-870 million, surpassing the consensus estimate of approximately $828.4 million. Despite marking the eighth consecutive quarter of over 60% revenue growth and issuing above-consensus guidance, the stock faced classic profit-taking pressure. Contributing factors include slowing US user growth and prior concerns over the potential non-renewal of a $60 million annual AI content licensing agreement with Google, which had previously weighed on sentiment.
