Reddit has been added to the S&P 500 Index, joining as one of just 14 companies to achieve this milestone in 2026. Since its mid-2024 IPO, Reddit stock has surged 424%. The company reported strong Q2 results with 61% year-over-year revenue growth to $805 million and 178% EPS growth. Wall Street analysts remain bullish, with 21 of 33 analysts maintaining buy ratings and an average price target of $215, suggesting 21% upside potential. Despite trading at 40x current earnings, the stock's forward valuation of 23x earnings and human-powered content advantage in an AI-dominated market make it attractive to investors.

Reddit's data licensing revenue reached $43 million in Q2 2026, growing 24% year-over-year, but represents only 5% of total revenue. Google and OpenAI are the primary customers using Reddit's data to train AI models. However, advertising remains Reddit's core business and primary growth driver, with the company focusing on converting weekly active users to daily active users to increase ad impressions.
Analysis summary
The article details a 24% year-over-year increase in Reddit's data licensing revenue to $43 million, driven by major AI clients like Google and OpenAI. Although this represents only 5% of total revenue, the growth underscores the strategic value of Reddit's user-generated content for AI training. The focus on advertising as the primary business remains unchanged.
The article compares Reddit and Snowflake as high-growth tech investments. Reddit achieved profitability with 69.4% revenue growth and a strong balance sheet, trading at a forward P/E of 30.1x. Snowflake generates higher free cash flow but remains unprofitable with 29.2% revenue growth and a forward P/E of 174.6x. The author recommends Reddit as the better 2026 buy due to its lower valuation, substantial revenue growth, and secure position through Google's reliance on its data for AI.
Analysis summary
The article positions Reddit as a superior investment compared to Snowflake based on profitability, revenue growth, and valuation. It highlights Reddit's reliance on AI training data from Google as a strategic advantage, which supports a positive outlook. The comparison is favorable to Reddit but remains speculative in nature.
