Earlier on January 13, Morgan Stanley increased its price target for Reddit from $250 to $265 while maintaining an Overweight rating, as part of a broader outlook on the North American internet sector. The firm predicts that 2026 will mirror 2025’s trends, with investors favoring companies that achieve significant ROIC through GenAI and GPU-enabled technologies. While Reddit is positioned to benefit from these themes, Morgan Stanley warns that sectors facing high disruption uncertainty will likely continue to trade at lower valuation multiples.
