Similarweb regression has revealed that Q3 US logged-in daily average users 0.8M/1.1M above Opco/Street. The metric is considered a primary driver of Reddit’s revenue. Meanwhile, Quarter-to-date ad portal visits also increased on a 2-year basis to +47% vs. Q2/Q1’s +30%/+19%. This is consistent with 3P commentary indicating improved ROI on driving higher advertising spending.

The firm increased its 2026 and 2027 forecasts for logged-in daily active users, revenue, and EBITDA, with 2027 projections now 3%, 12%, and 23% higher.
