Reddit just dropped Q3 2025 numbers and they're pretty spicy: $584.91M revenue (+68% YoY), 116M daily active users (+20%), and here's the kicker—Average Revenue Per User jumped 41% to $5.04. The AI playbook is working.
What's moving the needle? Reddit Answers (their AI-powered search feature) is now hitting 75M+ weekly searches, and they've just rolled out Reddit Pro tools for publishers with auto RSS imports and AI community recommendations. Smart move targeting media outlets.
But hold up—valuation red flag. RDDT trades at 12.29X forward P/S vs. the Tech sector's 6.63X. That's stretched. Plus, Pinterest and Snap aren't sleeping: Pinterest's AI visual search grew 44% YoY (80B monthly queries), and Snap's AR engagement is still crushing with 350M DAUs using AR daily.
The stock's up 13.6% YTD but underperforming the broader tech sector (+23%). Currently Zacks Rank #1, but that premium valuation? Investors need to ask if growth justifies the price tag.
**Bottom line**: AI tools + engagement gains = real business momentum. But don't ignore the competition or valuation math.
