IPOX® Research Analyst Dr. Lukas Muehlbauer was featured in the German business newspaper Handelsblatt, providing his expert insight on the sentiment among Reddit users ahead of the company's IPO. According to Dr. Muehlbauer, many Reddit users are skeptical about the platform's plans to commercialize user data, which could lead to stricter content moderation and increased use of AI-based chatbots. This negative sentiment within the Reddit community poses a significant risk for fluctuations in the company's stock price once it goes public.
Lukas Muehlbauer also noted that Reddit's decision to allocate shares to its most active users without a minimum holding period could further contribute to the stock's volatility. However, he pointed out that the IPO's timing during a bullish market and the relatively small portion of shares being offered to the public could potentially drive up the stock's value.
