RDDT: Beat but Plunged — Where’s the Catch?

$Reddit(RDDT.US) Q2 was broadly solid.

Monetization once again surprised to the upside.

As a key AI data source with a strong human signal, Reddit is benefiting from referral traffic tailwinds from Google and other gateways.

At the same time, it remains early in its commercialization, pushing beyond brand ads into performance ad monetization.

However, a soft spot in US user growth became more pronounced this quarter, with US DAU declining QoQ for the first time.

This aligns with third-party data indicating user churn in Feb and Mar.

RDDT: In the sweet spot as monetization accelerates

$Reddit(RDDT.US) delivered a solid Q1. As a key AI data source with highly authentic, real-time discussions, Reddit is enjoying referral tailwinds from Google and other gateways.

Monetization is still early. The company is expanding beyond brand ads into performance ads to deepen monetization.

The shift from 'people find content' via Search to 'content finds people' via Feed should be the next growth driver. Ad load on the platform remains below peers, leaving ample runway. This points to an attractive earnings ramp over the coming quarters...

Backed by GOOGL, RDDT keeps rallying---

$Reddit(RDDT.US) reported Q4 results after the close on Feb 5 (ET). Headline results were solid, coming in slightly ahead of already-raised estimates.

While no expiry was set, for a company public for less than three years it signals a clear commitment to shareholder returns. Key takeaways below.

Reddit: Another unexpected surge, how to view the correction of expectation differences before and after the earnings report?

Discussing the third-quarter report of $Reddit(RDDT.US), this time it is actually similar to the situation in the second quarter, also involving a process of expectation correction: 1. Before the earnings report, market tracking showed poor growth in North American user data (decline in duration, zero growth in users). Considering that North American users are the main source of monetization, the lack of user growth raises doubts about growth potential, and high valuations (generally hovering around 40x-50x EV/EBITDA) naturally cannot be sustained. 2. When the actual earnings report was released, although North American user growth was not as bad as third-party data tracking indicated (negative growth), it was still not promising...

Clinging tightly to Google's coattails, Reddit is racing down the path of commercialization.

$Reddit(RDDT.US) surged over 15% after releasing better-than-expected earnings. Is this truly a flawless report card? What are the specific flaws? Dolphin Research will discuss briefly; 1. The point of surge—monetization progress exceeded expectations + Google partnership upgrade. Reddit is still in the early stages of commercialization and has the support of the advertising giant Google, making it one of the few platforms in North America with high user growth. Therefore, under the comprehensive efforts of management in advertising tools, AI search intelligence, and building a large client sales team, second-quarter advertising revenue achieved an accelerated year-on-year growth of 84%...
