📊 Market Sentiment

  • Retail investors are watching this as the next meme stock moment

  • Analysts compare Reddit’s IPO potential with Pinterest, Snap, even Twitter’s early days

  • Risk: Ad revenue is still small compared to Meta or YouTube

“Reddit has cult power. The IPO won’t be about revenue — it’s about narrative,” says Rich Greenfield (LightShed)

💬 Community & Culture: Reddit’s Real Value?

Reddit’s edge lies in:

  • Organic virality

  • Deep user engagement

  • Meme power (WallStreetBets, CryptoMoonShots, etc.)

IPO hype could revive Reddit-centric trading similar to 2021’s GME/AMC mania.

🔮 What to Watch

  • Final S-1 filing + roadshow date

  • If Robinhood adds pre-IPO access

  • Valuation vs. peers (Pinterest $13B, Snap $17B)
