I noted an interesting point for myself — on February 5th, Reddit will publish its quarterly report, and this is a date to keep in mind if you're following this stock. The volatility around this event is already off the charts.

Why does Reddit generate such interest? The platform has grown rapidly. By the end of Q3 2025, they reported 116 million unique daily visits and 50 million registered users — a significant jump. Revenue surged 68% year-over-year. The main sources of income are targeted advertising and data licensing for AI partners. The latter is especially interesting because it attracts investors.

Analysts are raising their target prices. Morgan Stanley confirmed an Overweight rating and increased the target to $250. Goldman Sachs rates it as $238 Neutral. Citigroup has set an $265 Buy recommendation. Deutsche Bank sees potential up to $285, and Evercore up to $320. This isn’t just talk — they see real growth potential.

However, there’s one point that shouldn’t be overlooked: Reddit’s valuation still looks expensive. The P/E ratio is around 111 — nearly four times higher than the industry average of (32). Price-to-sales and EV-to-sales ratios are also in the teenage to twenties range. Even a PEG of 1.36 doesn’t suggest an attractive buy.

Wall Street expects revenue of about $666 million and EPS around $0.96 per quarter. The financial director hinted at maintaining double-digit growth and expanding data licensing. This is what investors should focus on in the report.

The options market is already preparing for movement. The 30-day implied volatility is about 82%, indicating an expected move of roughly 20% after the release. The put/call volatility ratio is nearly balanced — 0.97 — signaling a neutral stance between bulls and bears.

Reddit also announced several new partnerships — Emplifi is integrating their corporate API, Invoca will add ad data to their platform. This demonstrates a monetization strategy, but analysts believe the short-term impact will be minimal. The main focus remains on the earnings report.

February 5th is a key date for those watching this stock. Strong results and an upgraded outlook could support a premium valuation, but any signs of slowing ad growth or increased expenses could hit the price. Options traders are clearly expecting significant movement.
