$RDDT is down this morning because there are rumors/reports they might walk away from the $60M per year that Google/Gemini is paying them. I'm not too concerned:
1) This might be a negotiating tactic as they approach the end of their original licensing deal, I'm guessing $RDDT wants $150-200M per year as the 6th largest website on the planet.
2) Reddit might believe that Gemini is benefiting way more from their data than Reddit is receiving in return as a cited source which could be negatively impacting their user growth and monetization efforts
3) Based on alt data sources, Q2 revenues are projected to be up 55-60% YoY vs 46% for consensus
4) Based on alt data sources, Q3 revenues are tracking above 70% YoY which means we're probably seeing revenue acceleration... likely from better user growth, better monetization (ARPU), bigger ad budgets being allocated to Reddit, improved ad products & placements
If you include the $2.8B of cash on the balance sheet (and $0 debt)... using current sell side estimates (which are probably too low)... $RDDT is currently trading at 17x NTM EPS with EPS expected to grow at a 42% CAGR for the next 2 years
**fwiw, in my models I have a 50% CAGR for the next 2 years... from $4.54 EPS in CY2025 to $10.28 EPS in CY2027

Another phenomenal earnings report for $RDDT...
Q1 revs of $663M, up +69% YoY
Q1 ebitda of $266M, up +131% YoY
Q1 eps of $1.07, up +664% YoY
Q1 gross margin of 91.5%
$RDDT beat Q1 revenue estimates by +8.9%
$RDDT beat Q1 ebitda estimates by +18.2%
Meanwhile $RDDT came into Q1 earnings trading at less than 20x NTM EPS... easily one of the most undervalued growth stocks that I own/track.
I believe $RDDT can do $4-5B of net income in CY2030, throw a 25x multiple on that number and $RDDT has 4-5x upside over the next 4-5 years.
