- What Are Reddit Investors Betting On?
Reddit trades at 26.5 times adjusted earnings for the twelve months to June 30, 2026, falling to 22.3 times on analyst forecasts for fiscal 2027. That valuation assumes rapid growth: consensus sees fiscal 2026 sales of $3.39 billion and a further 32.5% rise in fiscal 2027, with net income up 22.8%. Sales grew 66.6% over the past twelve months, mostly from advertising, but growth is slowing and management expects 47% to 49% in fiscal Q3 2026. The article warns the forecast could slip if the net margin falls from the 32.3% projected for fiscal 2026 (reported 31.3%) or if weaker search traffic reduces ad impressions. If forecasts are met, the $155.65 stock price looks fairly priced, but a shortfall would make it a riskier bet.
- Reddit Earns More From Fewer U.S. Users: Rapid Earnings Reaction
Reddit grew third-quarter revenue 53% to $895 million, even though its U.S. daily active uniques fell 2% from a year earlier to 50.7 million. Shares dropped about 10% in early after-hours trading. All of the user growth came from outside the U.S., so U.S. revenue rose 50% mainly by earning more per user, with U.S. average revenue per unique at $13.82, up 53%. Logged-out U.S. users fell 4%, while logged-in U.S. users, which the company calls its most engaged, grew only 1%. Net income reached $283 million, up 74%, and fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $1.00 billion to $1.03 billion sits above this quarter's $895 million.
- Reddit Sinks 5% as Slower Growth Guidance Looms Over Earnings; Snap Drops 3%, Meta Holds Steady
Reddit shares fell about 5% to $136.52 in morning trading as guidance for slower third-quarter 2026 revenue growth weighed on the stock ahead of its earnings report. Management guided third-quarter revenue to $860 million to $870 million, following second-quarter sales of $804.9 million, up 61.1% year over year. Reddit also said it will stop separately reporting logged-in and logged-out daily active users after weak U.S. logged-in user growth. Snap fell 3% to $6.16, while Meta rose 0.2% to $643.55. The article says advertising is the key test, with segment revenue of $762 million up 64% last quarter, and notes Reddit also licenses its data to AI developers.

- AppLovin Is the Worst-Performing Stock in the S&P 500 This Year. Has the Market Overreacted?
AppLovin (APP) shares are down 65% so far in 2026, the worst performance in the S&P 500 as of end-October, as fears that AI could disrupt its adtech business have weighed on the stock. Its fundamentals remain strong: first-half revenue rose 56% year over year to $3.8 billion with a 66% profit margin, and the company forecasts about $2.1 billion in revenue for the current quarter at an 83% adjusted margin. The author argues that the stock's high valuation earlier in the year may have been a major factor behind the decline. At 18 times trailing earnings versus about 24 for the average S&P 500 stock, the author believes the market may have overreacted and that the shares could be worth considering for investors comfortable with risk and volatility.
- Is Amazon Stock a Buy as Cloud Revenue Continues to Surge?
Amazon's third-quarter revenue rose 12% year over year to $201.9 billion, slightly short of the $202.25 billion analyst consensus, and EPS of $1.89 missed the $1.97 estimate due to a large gain a year earlier tied to its Anthropic investment. AWS revenue jumped more than 39% to $46 billion, its fastest growth in nearly five years, while its operating income rose 56% to $17.8 billion. Advertising revenue growth slowed to 12% from 26% in the prior quarter. Trailing 12-month free cash flow was negative $42.4 billion as capex reached $75.9 billion in the quarter, and Amazon plans $220 billion in capex this year. The author considers the stock attractively valued at 23 times 2027 forward earnings estimates, and argues that returns on Amazon's AI investments are showing up in revenue and margins.

- Microsoft Copilot AI Predicts a Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) Explosion
The article presents a Microsoft Copilot AI forecast for Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) under an extreme and unlikely scenario in which the project signs a multi-year partnership with a major global entertainment and consumer brand, turning the PENGU token into a mainstream consumer brand. Technically, the token has been consolidating in the $0.0069–$0.0072 range, with resistance at $0.008–$0.009 and support at $0.0070–$0.0072 and $0.0060–$0.0065. In a speculative case assuming a full crypto bull market returns, PENGU could reach $0.45–$0.85, with a stretch target above $1.50 by January 1, 2027. The article stresses that this is pure speculation rather than a realistic base case.

- Attorney Mark Lanier Calls for Social Media Companies to Make Meaningful Changes in Wake of Meta, Snap Settlements
Attorney Mark Lanier of The Lanier Law Firm is urging social media companies to make lasting changes after Meta and Snap reached settlements ahead of the second bellwether trial over alleged addictive design and mental health harm to young users. He argues that a permanent fix with real design changes is needed to protect children, and that trials will continue until then. The settlement terms were not disclosed, and the companies still face more than 1,600 claims from families and school districts. The next bellwether trials are set for March 2027 before Judge Carolyn B. Kuhl in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The first trial ended in March with a $6 million verdict against Meta and Google's YouTube, with plaintiffs framing platform design features, not user content, as defective products.
