10:56 AM EDT, 08/01/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Reddit's ( RDDT ) growth runway remains long as the company makes it easier for advertisers to launch, scale and optimize advertisement spending on the platform, Morgan Stanley analysts wrote in a note Friday.

Reddit's ( RDDT ) revenue acceleration in Q2 is a testament to the company's "blossoming" advertisement offering, they wrote.

Reddit ( RDDT ) reported Q2 revenue of $500 million late Thursday, up from $281 million a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected $425.7 million.

Morgan Stanley raised Reddit's ( RDDT ) revenue estimates by 12% for 2025 and 22% for 2026, but said that higher revenue will likely be partially offset

by increased investment across sales, marketing, and research and development.

Morgan Stanley raised the company's price target to $230 from $170, and retained an overweight rating.
