Economic Summary
- Reddit (RDDT) is showing very strong advertising revenue growth (advertising grew ~83% last quarter) and rising average revenue per user, driven by logged-in users monetizing at roughly 10x logged-out users; new products (dynamic product ads, Reddit Shopping) and international expansion could materially increase ad revenue.
- Reddit operates with very high gross margins (90%+), is free-cash-flow positive, and has improving adjusted EBITDA and net income, but elevated share-based compensation remains a dilution risk; management is using buybacks and is focused on product improvements and international growth to sustain margins.
- SoFi (SOFI) has volatile sentiment but fundamental activity shows strength — month-to-date personal loan originations were up ~59%, and management/analysts may be conservatively modeling revenue and EPS, leaving room for upside versus consensus in the coming quarters.
- Robinhood (HOOD) has experienced a rapid valuation surge as it captures market share versus legacy players like Charles Schwab (SCHW); the market is pricing significant long-term growth, creating both large upside potential and valuation risk if execution slips.
Bullish
- Reddit ad revenue accelerating with ARPU gains and new ad products.
- SoFi originations and personal loans showing strong quarter-to-date growth.
- Robinhood gaining market share and benefiting from retail inflows and active user growth.
Bearish
- AI models citing Reddit less could reduce external demand for Reddit's data and advertising reach.
- High share-based (stock-based) compensation at Reddit risks dilution and investor pushback.
- SoFi is being pressured by repeated negative reports and analyst downgrades, hurting sentiment.
- Robinhood's rapid run-up may be overvalued, increasing downside risk if growth disappoints.
