What you need to know about the Reddit IPO
Our analyst's view on the Reddit IPO
By Angeline Ong
Reddit is aiming for a valuation of some £6.5 billion when it lists on 21 March 2024.
Reddit already has tens of millions of users. The company has never made a profit, but sales grew 20% in the last year, showing Reddit can attract advertisers.
But Reddit relies heavily on search engines like Alphabet's Google for customer acquisition, and volunteers around the world to moderate its content.
This means regulators will be watching Reddit more closely, especially when it's a public company.
The difference between trading and investing in the Reddit IPO
Trading Reddit shares with us means that you’ll be predicting on the price movements of the company’s shares with CFDs. Since you won’t own the underlying assets, you can take a position on both rising and falling share prices.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you can open a position with a deposit – known as margin. Trading with leverage can increase both your profits and your losses, because they’re calculated using a position’s full market exposure, not just the margin requirement to open it.
Learn more about the impact of leverage on your trading
Investing in shares works differently. Leverage isn’t available, so you’ll need to provide the full cost of the position upfront. This’ll give you direct ownership of the shares, and you’ll earn a profit if the share price rises above the price at which you opened your investment.
You’ll also receive shareholder rights, like voting privileges if the company grants them. Plus, you’ll be eligible to receive dividends according to how many shares in the company you own.

How do IPOs work?
IPOs work by having a company put its shares up for sale to the public. Some common reasons for this include seeking to raise capital for business growth, decreasing or settling debts, positioning itself to better attract and retain talent, or increasing liquidity.
The IPO process starts off with a detailed audit of the company by an external resource – it must be conducted taking all the company’s financials into consideration. Next, a registration statement needs to be prepared by the business and filed with the appropriate exchange commission. If the commission grants approval, the company can then list a set number of shares at a price determined by an investment bank.

FAQs
What are the risks of trading an IPO?
All trading activity is risky – IPOs come with additional risks, including:
- Missing important company information that might impact share prices, eg pending legal cases and intellectual property that is not patented
- Little to no trading track record to base decisions on
- Elevated market expectations that do not materialise
- Companies not meeting their target market cap
- Before committing to any trade, it is important that you have all the facts that you need. In the case of trading IPOs, you can use company prospectuses, admission documents and other information to stay up-to-date. By staying informed, you can avoid risks that could affect your position in a trade.
