Reddit shares slide 21% to US$140.67 after earnings omit new AI data-licensing deals

AI Market Summary
Reddit shares fell 21% after earnings failed to deliver new AI data-licensing agreements, undermining expectations for revenue diversification beyond advertising. This disappointment outweighed strong fundamentals: Q2 revenue +61% YoY, raised Q3 guidance above consensus, and first-time trailing 12-month $1B free cash flow. The reaction highlights how tightly valuation is linked to incremental AI deal traction and perceived user-growth/search-traffic risks.

Reddit shares sank 21% on July 31 to close at US$140.67, the stock’s biggest single-day drop since the company went public in 2024, and the shares are down 39% so far this year.

Investors were disappointed by the lack of fresh progress on major AI-related data-licensing partnerships.
