INFLATION TICKS UP

🚀 Big Ambitions: Reddit is set to raise up to $748 million in its much-anticipated IPO, targeting a valuation around $6.5 billion by offering 22 million shares priced between $31 to $34, signaling strong investor confidence and a significant step for the social media platform.

👥 Community Involvement: In an innovative move, Reddit has reserved about 1.76 million shares for its users and moderators, allowing them direct participation in the IPO without the usual lock-up period constraints, potentially increasing market volatility but also democratizing investment opportunities.

💼 Financial Snapshot: With annual sales hitting $804 million in 2023, marking a 20% increase from the previous year, and a narrowed net loss from 2022, Reddit's financial health appears robust. Notable shareholders include Tencent and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, underscoring the platform's significant backing and growth prospects.
