Reddit Considers Borrowing Against Social Media Stock Stake
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Investor's Business Daily

Reddit's stock fell over 7% after reports that Advance Magazine Publishers plans to borrow against its Reddit stake by establishing a $1.2 billion credit facility. This move involves selling shares at a price below Reddit's recent closing value. Despite the drop, Reddit's stock has surged 191% since its IPO in March, driven by a surprise profit in Q3. Separately, Tencent Holdings sold $400 million in Reddit stock, reducing its stake by 28%. Advance remains a major shareholder, having acquired Reddit in 2006.
