But several industry analysts questioned whether the \"meme\" stock trend will carry Reddit's stock over the long term.\nWedbush internet securities analyst Ygal Arounian said it was unclear whether the influx of Reddit users, who were drawn to the company's forums to rally around buying certain stocks, including GameStop's shares in January, would be enough to support further growth at the company. \"The question is, was that lift sustainable?\" he said.\nA Reddit spokesperson declined to respond to industry analysts' skepticism of its public company's growth prospects, citing the \"quiet period\" that accompanies the filing of paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nAt a $15 billion valuation, Reddit would be valued at 20-times revenue, or three times the multiple of Facebook-owner Meta Platforms, according to Breakingviews.\nThat is despite the 16-year-old company significantly trailing Facebook and other major social media companies in users and revenue.\nReddit brought in $100 million in advertising revenue in the second quarter of this year, according to the company. That reflects a tripling from a year ago, or about $400 million annually on a run-rate basis, serving about 52 million users daily.\nFacebook, which was founded just a year before Reddit, generated $85.9 billion in 2020 and serves about 3 billion global users. Twitter, which launched in 2006, reported $3.72 billion in revenue last year and now attracts 211 million users a day.\nReddit's appeal to advertisers is limited as it remains a sideshow in their marketing plans compared to platforms like Facebook that offer far larger audiences, said Matt Navarra, a Britain-based social media consultant whose previous clients include Google, the BBC and International Red Cross.\nThis is because Facebook and YouTube lure marketers with highly targeted text and video ads that are designed to drive sales. Reddit's users have also been critical of the platform carrying too much advertising.\nReddit has taken a more hands-off approach to content moderation compared to its bigger rivals, counting on its loyal communities to police themselves. This approach has resulted in material such as hate speech that advertisers avoid, though the company has made progress in recent years in limiting that content.\n\"It feels like quite a scary place to be for many small to medium and bigger brands who are cautious about where they place themselves,\" said Navarra.\nNEW FEATURES NEEDED\nReddit has changed little in its basic features since it was spun off from magazine conglomerate Conde Nast in 2011. Its recent surge in appeal is down to the popularity of WallStreetBets and other forums on its platform that have become a venue for retail investors to speculate on stocks.\nDrawing more users will require new features as Reddit's rivals chase the metaverse, virtual reality, audio chatrooms and newsletters, analysts said.\nThe company has made some efforts to freshen its appeal. In December, it acquired Dubsmash, a TikTok-like app. It has also launched real-time features for the first time such as voting animations and typing indicators.\nReddit may also be able to generate more advertising revenue from its existing base of loyal users, which could be catnip for some advertisers, said research firm LightShed Partners analyst Rich Greenfield.\n\"Whether that’s on video gaming, whether that’s on stocks like WallStreetBets, or whether that’s on Marvel or Star Wars lore, Reddit creates an environment where you can target passionate communities of consumers,\" Greenfield said.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":699193314,"gmtCreate":1639753861261,"gmtModify":1639753861410,"author":{"id":"3555192598177225","authorId":"3555192598177225","name":"Jj1985","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52a052d654dfb301401489286662068","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3555192598177225","authorIdStr":"3555192598177225"},"htmlText":"No one use reddit","listText":"No one use reddit","text":"No one use reddit","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699193314","repostId":2192920651,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2192920651","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1639741798,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2192920651?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-17 19:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Analysis-Reddit IPO to test social media platform's 'meme' stock hype","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2192920651","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"Reddit users have helped fuel dozens of \"meme\" stock rallies this year, from retailer GameStop Corp ","content":"<p>Reddit users have helped fuel dozens of \"meme\" stock rallies this year, from retailer GameStop Corp to movie operator AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.
