Reddit Soars as Hedge Funds Bet Big on Its Future
29 Jul
Summary
- Needham analyst raises Reddit's price target to $165
- Reddit's latest quarter exceeds expectations, momentum continues
- AI plays growing role in Reddit's global expansion and monetization

Reddit, the social media platform based in San Francisco, has emerged as one of the best multibagger stocks according to hedge funds. On July 23, 2025, Needham analyst Laura Martin raised her price target on Reddit from $145 to $165, while maintaining a "Buy" rating.
Reddit's latest quarter came in ahead of expectations, and the momentum looks set to continue. The company is seeing a steady climb in daily active users, and its ad revenue, particularly from direct-response formats, is gaining traction. Reddit's pivot toward full-funnel advertisers, coupled with the launches of Reddit Search and Reddit Answers, is deepening user engagement and improving content discovery on the platform.
Financially, Reddit is benefiting from expanding margins and accelerating free cash flow. Additionally, the company is leveraging AI to drive its growth. New translation features aim to accelerate global user growth, and early results from Reddit Insights suggest the platform is beginning to monetize generative AI effectively.
