Social media company Reddit filed its IPO prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday after a yearslong run-up. The company plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “RDDT.”

Reddit said it had $804 million in annual sales for 2023, up 20% from the $666.7 million it brought in the previous year, according to the filing.

The company said it has incurred net losses since its inception. It reported a net loss of $90.8 million for the year ended Dec. 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $158.6 million the year prior.

Its market debut, expected in March, will mark the first major tech initial public offering of the year. It’s the first social media IPO since Pinterest went public in 2019.

Reddit first filed a confidential draft of its public offering prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2021.

Interesting that they're offering to let me buy shares at the IPO price...

Spez is straight up luring the userbase into a rug pull scam.

Plenty of rubes will fall for it and the stock will be overvalued for a short period of time, then the institutional investors will pull out, then the rubes will panic sell, then institutional investors will slowly buy back in a little bit and it'll eventually reach some kind of baseline but never get back to where the redditors bought in at.

I just hope I can get some good puts in before the rug pull happens.

“You have to be in our exclusive club to buy our stock at the same IPO price you can get through Robinhood.”

IIRC Vonage tried that too, because the folks in charge knew the IPO was going to fail spectacularly and wanted more rubes to put in some money.
