A literal meme stock may soon be on the way.
Reddit, the popular social sharing platform, has plans to go public later this year, according to a reportin The Information.
iRobot Roomba Combo i3+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum and Mop—$329.99(List Price $599.99)
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 10.9" 64GB Wi-Fi Tablet—$178.99(List Price $219.99)
Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen With MagSafe USB-C Charging Case—$199.00(List Price $249.00)
Eero 6 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (Router + 2 Extenders)—$149.99(List Price $199.99)
Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS, 41mm, Midnight, S/M, Sports Band)—$299.00(List Price $399.00)
Back in late 2021, Reddit first started making moves to file for an IPO at a $15 billion valuation. However, many factors — among them the fluctuating markets, inflation, high interest rates, and a downturn specifically among tech stocks — put Reddit's aspirations to go public on hold in 2022.
However, according to this latest report, Reddit now has its sights set on going public in the second half of 2023, albeit at a much lower valuation. The company was recently valued at $6.6 billion by Fidelity.
If and when Reddit does hit the stock market, it will be interesting to see what its users do. The meme stocktrend of 2021 kicked off on Reddit with the subreddit r/WallStreetBets encouraging its members to invest in companies like GameStop and AMC. (And, of course, it should be noted that while some peopledid make out with a lot of money investing in stocks based on what other social media users are buying up, it didn't work outfor the vast majority of people.)
The meme stock craze didn't end in 2021 either...at least not on Reddit. For example, Reddit users were still pumping stocks like Bed Bath & Beyondjust last summer.
Will Redditors turn Reddit, the meme stock creation platform, into a meme stock itself? It looks like we'll find out later this year.
