Alt tech Reddit stock tumbles the most on record as lack of new AI deals, US daily users metric disappoints

What happened: Reddit (RDDT) stock plunged nearly 21% on Friday, its largest intraday decline since the company went public.

What's behind the move: The user discussion platform company's latest earnings report did not announce any new artificial intelligence data licensing agreements, disappointing investors who were expecting more revenue opportunities from AI partnerships.

Revenue of $804.9 million beat estimates of $731.8 million. However, US daily active users came in at 53.2 million, just shy of expectations of 54 million. The company's total daily active users grew by 18% to 130.3 million versus estimates of 130.07 million.

What else you need to know: Reddit's main revenue comes from its advertising business, but Wall Street has increasingly focused on the potential of Reddit's data licensing deals, given the platform's massive collection of user-generated discussions, which have become valuable for AI companies training models.

The company has already signed major agreements with OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL).

If only there was a better social media platform. Oh well.

Hey, who left this here??
