Reddit Inc (RDDT, Financial) shares experienced a minor uptick of 0.41% following the release of its latest earnings report. Despite positive financial results, broader economic concerns and valuation apprehensions prompted continued caution among investors.
Reddit (RDDT, Financial) recently reported a substantial increase in revenues, with a surge of 71% to $427.7 million, surpassing consensus estimates of $405.5 million. Advertising revenue notably contributed to this growth, climbing by 60% to $394.5 million. The company also reported an adjusted EBITDA increase from $23.2 million to $154.3 million, with earnings per share hitting $0.36, surpassing expectations of $0.25.
Despite these strong numbers, daily active unique users rose by 39% to 101.7 million, which fell short of market expectations. This, coupled with changes in a Google algorithm that affected user growth, contributed to investor concerns about potential deceleration in user engagement.
Looking ahead, Reddit forecasts revenue between $360 million and $370 million for the upcoming quarter, indicating a 50% year-over-year growth, albeit a slowdown from the previous quarter's rapid pace.
Reddit’s stock is currently priced at $162.45, placing its market capitalization at approximately $29.39 billion. The stock has demonstrated a significant 180.6% rise over the past 24 weeks, although it suffered a 20.21% decline over the past month.
Analysts have recommended buying the dip, citing Reddit's strong financial position highlighted by a robust Altman Z-Score of 85.51, indicating strong financial health. However, macroeconomic factors, including tariffs and weakening consumer sentiment, have continued to impact growth stocks like Reddit.
Despite these challenges, Reddit maintains a solid cash-to-debt ratio of 68.94, indicating a strong capability to meet its financial obligations. The company’s book value per share stands at 11.44, with a price-to-book ratio of 13.74, suggesting the stock may still be priced on the high side relative to its book value.
