According to a filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Wong executed a series of stock sales on February 18, 2025, totaling approximately $6.26 million. The sales involved multiple transactions with prices ranging from $184.66 to $196.05 per share. This insider activity comes as Reddit, now valued at $35.53 billion, has seen its stock surge over 208% in the past six months. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value.

In other recent news, Reddit’s financial performance and analyst evaluations have been in the spotlight. Reddit’s revenue has shown strong growth, with the company reporting a 60% year-over-year increase in ad revenue for the fourth quarter, bolstered by robust advertising across multiple verticals. JPMorgan raised its price target for Reddit shares to $185, citing the company’s continued success in capturing a larger share of advertiser budgets despite challenges with daily active user growth. Similarly, BofA Securities lifted its price target to $190, acknowledging Reddit’s solid sales and cost management strategies, although they maintained a Neutral rating due to anticipated revenue growth slowdown.

Jefferies adjusted Reddit’s price target to $225 while retaining a Buy rating, highlighting Reddit’s diversification in customer base and product offerings as a driver for future growth. Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James maintained a Strong Buy rating with a $250 price target, emphasizing Reddit’s recovery in daily active user growth and international expansion. However, Bernstein SocGen Group reaffirmed an Underperform rating with a $150 price target, pointing out issues with user engagement as a concern.
