Reddit Beats Earnings, But AI Disruption Fears Keep the Stock Down
TL;DR Summary
Reddit topped Q2 expectations with EPS of $1.25 and revenue of $805 million (up 61%), while daily active users reached 130.3 million and ad revenue per user hit a record. Yet shares fell as investors fretted that AI tools and Google’s AI Overviews could siphon clicks and logged‑in traffic, undermining long‑term growth. US user numbers dipped modestly; licensing talks with Alphabet/OpenAI are watched as pivotal near‑term catalysts amid a robust ad engine.
