Reddit to Test Log-In Wall as Stock Sinks

Reddit shares fell more than 15% in after-hours trading Thursday after it forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $1 billion to $1.03 billion, below the roughly $1.05 billion analysts expected, even as third-quarter revenue of $895 million and earnings of $1.40 a share beat estimates. CEO Steve Huffman told CNBC that search referral traffic from Google was down meaningfully because of AI overviews, and Reddit said it will begin testing a requirement for users to log in, starting outside the U.S. in the fourth quarter. U.S. daily active uniques fell 2% from a year earlier. Not investment advice.
