Reddit shares got absolutely smoked compared to social media rivals like Meta and Snap yesterday, dropping 20%

Yesterday, Reddit shares suffered their worst drop since going public just under a year ago, as the platform’s rocky start to 2025 continues. After a pretty remarkable 2024, the stock is now down more than 35% so far this year.

With market misery across the board on Monday — the S&P 500 suffered its worst day of 2025 and the Nasdaq 100 notched its worst session since 2022 — Reddit wasn’t alone in falling, but the scale of its descent did separate it from the wider pack... especially compared with peers in the socials space.

While there were drops for Meta, Snap, and Pinterest, none suffered quite like Reddit, as the latest major social platform to go public proved most vulnerable to the whims of the market’s wider downturn. Reddit shares remain, at the time of writing, up ~113% from their IPO price last March.

Still, if you’re one of the execs at chat platform Discord reportedly eyeing your own potential IPO, Reddit’s recent woes might be enough to make you cast a downvote on getting to work on the idea anytime soon.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
