Reddit: Secretly An AI Company

Reddit experienced a sharp post-earnings selloff, but I view the current valuation as an attractive accumulation opportunity for patient investors. RDDT’s Q2 2026 earnings were strong, with 61% year-over-year revenue growth, robust user metrics, and free cash flow up 135%. RDDT’s unique position as a key data source for LLMs is underappreciated, with multifaceted licensing relationships and growing 'Other Revenue' from AI partnerships. Risks include AI search impact on traffic, user retention challenges, and uncertainty around Google licensing renewal, but I rate RDDT a strong buy given upside potential.

After releasing its Q2 2026 earnings, Reddit ( RDDT ) experienced a selloff of more than 20%, which was the largest it has experienced since its IPO two years ago.
