The investment firm has a buy rating on the social media name. It also has a $300 price target on shares, implying 50% upside from Thursday&#8217;s close. &#8220;RDDT&#8217;s core asset becomes more valuable over time, because it is 100% human dialog and information, at scale, which is a competitive advantage in an environment of proliferating Algorithms,&#8221; analyst Laura Martin said Friday in a note to clients. &#8220;RDDT offers a human layer of authentication and advice, which many consumers require before they follow purchase or life advice from an LLM or algorithm.&#8221; The use of generative-AI tools such as ChatGPT has exploded over the past few years. Roughly half of U.S. adults report using AI chatbots, marking a significant increase from the number of individuals who had reported using those tools in 2024, according to a recent report from Pew Research Center. To boot, about one-in-four of survey participants now say they use gen-AI tools on a daily basis, per the same report. But as more people turn to AI bots, human-produced content could become more difficult to locate, making Reddit a valuable source for authentic, non-AI insights. That, in turn, should drive more value to the firm&#8217;s shares, per Martin. Needham&#8217;s call falls in line with consensus on the Street. Of the 29 analysts covering Reddit, 19 have a buy or strong buy on the stock, LSEG data shows. Shares of Reddit have risen 43% over the past three months, vastly outperforming the overall market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reddit has more room to run as its platform for posts written by humans becomes a bigger draw&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":925754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,82395,738,81,3346,171587,11736,134,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-925753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amc-entertainment-holdings-inc","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-business-news","tag-investment-strategy","tag-laura-martin","tag-reddit-inc","tag-stock-markets","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116896389357631462","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=925753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/925754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
