Aug 20, 2025 2:03 PM

Reddit Inc ( RDDT ) shares closed Wednesday’s session lower, swept up in a broader market retreat impacting technology and AI-related stocks. Here’s what investors need to know.

RDDT stock is struggling to find support. Stay ahead of the curve here.

What To Know: Wednesday’s decline comes as the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 underperformed major indexes, with investor sentiment dampened by a recent report questioning AI profitability and anticipation of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes.

The dip marks a reversal from the social media company's recent powerful rally 49% rally over the past month. Reddit's ( RDDT ) stock hit a new 52-week high on Monday following a stellar second-quarter earnings report posted in late July that surpassed Wall Street expectations.

The company announced impressive revenue of $499.6 million and a 21% surge in daily active unique users, prompting a wave of analyst upgrades and a bullish third-quarter outlook.

Reddit’s strong fundamental performance in 2025 has also attracted institutional attention. According to its latest 13F filing, technology-focused hedge fund Tiger Global Management more than doubled its stake in Reddit ( RDDT ) during the second quarter, increasing its position from $341 million to $926 million.

Despite this vote of confidence and strong recent performance, Reddit’s stock appeared to be caught in Wednesday’s market-wide risk-off sentiment, which pressured growth stocks across the board.

Benzinga Edge Rankings: According to Benzinga Edge stock rankings, Reddit ( RDDT ) exhibits extremely strong price Momentum, scoring an impressive 97.94. This high score reflects the stock’s powerful upward trend that led to its recent 52-week high.

Conversely, the stock receives a very low Value score of 6.60, suggesting it may be considered overvalued based on current fundamental metrics.

RDDT Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, RDDT shares closed Wednesday’s session lower by 4.30% to $218.37. The stock has a 52-week high of $253.14 and a 52-week low of $54.27.
