Factors to Note

Reddit’s second-quarter 2024 top-line growth is expected to have benefited from an expanding daily active uniques (DAUq). Improvement in search engine results powered by AI and machine learning is expected to have driven DAUq in the second quarter.

RDDT’s social media platform offers communities covering different topics. In the first quarter, DAUq increased 37% year over year to 82.7 million and Weekly Active Uniques rose 40% year over year to 306.2 million. This trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
 
In the to-be-reported quarter, the company entered into a partnership with OpenAI. This partnership enables Reddit to bring new AI-powered features to redditors and mods. RDDT will be building on OpenAI’s platform of AI models to bring its powerful vision to life. This is expected to aid the company’s top-line growth in the second quarter.

Reddit’s partnership with Google reflects the growing value of data, which is used for the purpose of AI model training. However, stiff competition for ad dollars has been a headwind.
