Reddit's 25% stock drop hits social media ETFs harder than broad S&P 500 funds.

Reddit's shares plunged 25.27% after a strong earnings report was overshadowed by a sharp drop in user traffic, blamed on Google's AI features. While the stock's decline barely affected broad S&P 500 index funds due to Reddit's small weighting, thematic funds like the Global X Social Media ETF (SOCL) with concentrated Reddit exposure suffered bigger losses. This highlights risks for investors holding both core index funds and thematic ETFs with overlapping stocks. Going forward, investors should watch Reddit's user engagement and upcoming ETF portfolio updates to gauge further impact.

Reddit's shares are down 28.26% on Pluang, trading at USD 93.05 as of Oct 30, 2026 22:51 WIB. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is also lower by 1.55%, priced at USD 760.94 at the same time.
