Reddit faces growth challenges as AI firms reduce traffic and user engagement drops with new login rules

Reddit is experiencing a slowdown in user growth, with daily active users in the U.S. declining by 2% to 50.7 million, and international growth mainly in regions with lower revenue per user. The company’s shift to requiring logins aims to protect data and increase monetization but risks significant short-term user loss and engagement decline. Additionally, AI companies are no longer directing traffic to Reddit, complicating its growth model. Despite these challenges, Reddit holds $3 billion in cash and buyback capacity, trading at a relatively low valuation based on 2027 earnings projections, but near-term volatility is expected as it navigates this transition.

Reddit's stock (RDDT) is trading at USD 91.13 on Pluang, showing a slight decline of 0.59% in the last day. As of Nov 03, 2026 07:01 WIB, the market cap stands at $17.71 billion with a typical hold time of 27 days among Pluang investors.
