Reddit: A Good Time To Buy The Sharp Dip (Rating Upgrade)
Summary Reddit's stock, down ~50% from its peak, is now a compelling buy, due to its strong user growth and diversified revenue streams. Beyond general market volatility, Reddit stock fell because it reported a decline in U.S. users in Q4, which was driven by a Google search algorithm changed. Management notes that this has happened periodically through Reddit's history, and that it has regained momentum in Q1. Investors should consider buying Reddit ahead of its May 1 earnings, where positive U.S. user trends could trigger a stock rebound. The stock is trading at a much more attractive 9.4x revenue multiple, only ~2 turns richer than Meta, despite a ~3x faster top-line growth rate expected for FY25.
