Is Reddit a good stock to buy?

Reddit has been a unique social media company since 2005. It is more unique than other social media companies like X and Facebook in that people use it to access and communicate based on their areas of interest. 

Reddit’s business has continued to do well, adding more users each day. SimilarWeb data shows that it is one of the most visited websites in the internet. It had over 3.4 billion visitors last month, a 11% decline from a month earlier. This decline is partly because February had 28 days compared to January’s 31.

A case can be made to invest in Reddit stock. Its monthly active users are still growing, and the company is on a path towards profitability. 

Additionally, analysts believe that the Reddit stock price has more upside, with the average target by Wall Street analysts being $204, up from the current $107.2.
