Stocks are basically a percentage of ownership. The share price as a dollar amount is meaningless because it could be 1% of a company or 0.000000001%. The relevant number here is that Reddit is IPOing at a valuation of $5 billion (that stock buys a ¹⁄₁₅₀₀₀₀₀₀₀ interest), which all I can reply with is hahahahahahahaha
$6.5B valuation (assuming a standard 20x EPS model) should imply in the neighborhood of $325M/year in revenue from a company that makes about a third of that.
Either Reddit plans on tripling its revenues in the near future or this is an unrealistic target.
It’s a sham, imo. I was on reddit for 15 years. It has peaked already. They won’t be able to get more for ads and I don’t believe their data for AI will go higher than what they’ve gotten for it this year. The only way they’ll be worth more is to cut overhead.
Their pre order ipo is wanting and planning on like $31 to $34 a share. I’m thinking no.
0.031 sounds more realistic
It’s not quite that bad, the author buries this near the end:
Which if I read that correctly means he thinks a fair valuation of the stock is about 90 cents.

I am aware. It’s valuation was in the article.
Well, either two values give the third. All one’s gotta know is two of: valuation, price per share, number of shares.
