Reddit prices IPO at $34 per share, the top of the rangeReddit priced its stock on Wednesday at $34 a share, the top of the anticipated range, a signal that investors are excited about the company’s IPO on Thursday.
The social media giant raised nearly $500 million in the offering.
Despite being profitable on EBITDA basis, Instacart and Klaviyo, two main IPOs of 2023, had lukewarm receptions on Wall Street last year.
