Reddit: The Market Is Sleeping On Its True Earnings Power

Summary Reddit is rapidly becoming a highly profitable, capital-light advertising platform, supported by rising ARPU, strong user purchase intent, and a long monetization runway. The business is already producing strong earnings and cash flow, while requiring minimal capex compared with most companies tied to the AI cycle. On top of that, RDDT’s human conversation data could become a strategic AI asset if future licensing deals are repriced higher. At today’s valuation, I believe the market is still severely underestimating Reddit’s growth runway, data licensing opportunity, and true long-term earnings potential.

DHI Group: Strong Cash Flows And A Solid Balance Sheet

Summary DHI Group is rated a buy, driven by its defensible MOAT in security-cleared tech talent and strong earnings growth. CJ, DHI's high-margin platform for cleared professionals, is becoming the primary earnings driver, offsetting Dice's cyclical weakness. Recent acquisition of PSG expands DHI into end-to-end staffing, enabling higher ARPU and diversified revenue streams. Strong cash flow, ongoing share buybacks, and sector tailwinds from defense and AI tech hiring support further upside. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Shutterstock: Getty Images Merger Brings Several Positives

Summary Shutterstock (SSTK) is rated BUY, driven by compelling merger synergies with Getty Images (GETY) and significant payout optionality for shareholders. The GETY merger offers $150–200m in cost synergies, creating the largest data source for AI image model training and a $2bn revenue base. SSTK shareholders can realize a 6–45% premium based on merger payment options, with a floor valuation of $13.7 per share if GETY meets NYSE rules.
