Reddit (RDDT) turns 69% revenue growth into $204M GAAP profit as ad monetization reaches scale. Reddit, Inc. (RDDT) reported total revenue of $663 million for the first quarter of 2026, rising 69% year-over-year from $392.4 million in Q1 2025, extending the platform's streak to seven consecutive quarters of at least 60% revenue growth. The company converted that top-line acceleration into $204 million in GAAP net income - a 31% net margin - and $266 million in adjusted EBITDA, marking a decisive structural shift toward large-scale profitability. Q1 2026 revenue: 69% growth as advertising reaches scale. Advertising revenue reached $625 million in Q1 2026, up 74% year-over-year, and accounted for 94% of total revenue. The remaining 6%, or $39 million, came from data licensing and other revenue, which grew 15% year-over-year. The divergence in growth rates - advertising at 74% versus licensing at 15% - confirms the ad platform as the primary growth engine. | Revenue Component | Q1 2026 (GAAP) | Q1 2025 (GAAP) | YoY Growth | Share of Total | | Advertising Revenue | $625 million | $359 million | +74% | 94% | | Other Revenue (Licensing) | $39 million | $34 million | +15% | 6% | | Total Revenue | $663 million | $392.4 million | +69% | 100% | The $663 million result exceeded analyst consensus estimates of approximately $611 million by roughly 8.5%, with strength in both...
