r/IPO
Reddit is going public. Hereโs what you need to know before you yolo into the shares
Last week, Reddit, the company behind the forum of the same name, declared theyโre finally going public. The 19-year-old social media company filed an initial public offering (IPO) prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Americaโs financial market regulator. Soon, investors and apes alike can trade Redditโs shares.
But the platform that hosts r/WallStreetBets, a community for adrenaline-seeking stock pickers that boosted GameStop shares during the pandemic, has been hush-hush about the details. They hope to generate a buzz and enjoy their usersโ stock-pumping tendencies. But the company hasnโt declared how many shares theyโll sell or at what price. And other details about the firmโs capital structure are murky at best.
Whether you should buy Redditโs shares when theyโre offered will depend on your portfolio and what the offer price is. Reddit has a successful platform with valuable data, and should become quite profitable in the future. But the expected valuation seems a bit frothyโtypical of IPOs. As a result, investors should be cautious.
