Friday's Featured Story TL;DR: Why Reddit is the New Growth Stock to BeatWritten by Nathan Reiff. Published 12/19/2025. 
Key Points - Reddit's revenue and user base have grown at a fast pace in recent quarters.
- Strong performance internationally has helped to fuel these gains, thanks to add-on features like translation tools and more.
- The company's average revenue per user remains low compared to rivals, suggesting that Reddit could continue to boost its appeal to advertisers going forward.
Reddit Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) is ending the year on a high note after returning about 37% in 2025, reigniting a rally that had appeared to stall earlier in the fall. The online content‑sharing platform is showing signs of rapid growth: its user base, engagement metrics, and earnings are all expanding. At a time when major social media rivals like Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) and even alternatives such as Pinterest Inc. (NYSE: PINS) have failed to outperform the market or have declined this year, Reddit looks to be heating up. They wrote silver off as a "boring metal," but its move above $33 has forced analysts to reconsider what's really driving this market. With AI hardware, EVs, solar, and next-gen electronics all dependent on silver — while global supply continues to lag — this quiet setup is starting to look like one of the most overlooked opportunities in the commodities space.
Most investors still haven't connected the dots, which is why this new silver forecast guide breaks down the fundamentals behind the move, the real pressure building beneath the surface, and the steps to consider before silver becomes front-page news. Get the Silver Forecast Now What might 2026 hold for the popular aggregation site, and will it remain the growth stock to beat? A closer look at user engagement, advertising momentum, and the company's capacity to lift revenue per user helps illuminate Reddit's prospects. User Engagement Fuels Potential Growth One of the brightest spots for Reddit this year has been its engagement gains. The company finished the third quarter with an impressive 116 million daily active uniques (DAUQ) — users who visited reddit.com, opened the app, or otherwise engaged with the platform within a 24‑hour period. That represented roughly a 20% year‑over‑year (YOY) increase, with weekly active uniques (WAUQ) rising by a similar amount. International DAUQ grew about 31% YOY, outpacing overall engagement gains thanks to strong adoption in France, Brazil and India. Reddit's business model depends on a large, engaged user base. Growth in DAUQ and WAUQ strengthens the company's position with advertisers, who account for the majority of its sales. Another relatively untapped revenue opportunity is data. With some 3.8 billion site visits in September alone, Reddit sits on valuable behavioral data—data that becomes increasingly important as AI adoption expands. Revenue and Earnings Climb, But ARPU Trails Competitors As engagement grows, Reddit's revenue has risen sharply. In the latest earnings, revenue reached $585 million, up more than two‑thirds year‑over‑year. International revenue was particularly strong, climbing 74% YOY. Earnings per share (EPS) rose roughly 400% as both the top and bottom lines comfortably beat analyst expectations. Guidance for the final quarter put revenue between $655 million and $665 million. Measured on a per‑user basis, average revenue per user (ARPU) was $5.04 in the last quarter — up about 41% YOY but still substantially below many rivals (Meta's ARPU, for example, is roughly three times higher). There is clear upside to raise ARPU, but doing so will require more than simply adding users. Reddit can increase ARPU by better monetizing its unique content and communities and by deploying tools like auto‑translations and content indexing—capabilities that are particularly attractive to advertisers targeting diverse, engaged audiences. AI and Human Content Balance Key to 2026 Outlook Analysts are generally optimistic about Reddit heading into the new year, with 18 of 29 assigning it a Buy or equivalent rating. After its year‑end rally, the stock's near‑term upside is uncertain—with a consensus price target of $230.28, Reddit is approaching the level analysts currently expect. How Reddit handles AI will be critical to its next phase of growth. So far the company has limited user‑facing AI features, preserving the appeal of human‑generated content that has driven broader engagement. If Reddit can maintain a strong mix of authentic, community‑driven content while rolling out useful tools and ad products, it could continue to gain traction into 2026 and beyond.
