NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces that a shareholder filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers and acquirers of Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) securities between October 29, 2024 and May 20, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'). Reddit is a social media platform and forum-style website.

According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) changes in Google Search's algorithm and features like AI Overview were causing users to stop their query on Google search; (2) these algorithm changes were materially different than prior instances of reduced traffic to the Reddit website; (3) defendants were aware that the increase in the query term 'Reddit' on search engines was because users were getting the sought after answer from Google Search without having to go to Reddit, and not because they intended to visit Reddit; (4) this zero-click search reality was dramatically reducing traffic to Reddit in a manner that Reddit was unable to overcome in the short term; and (5) Defendants, therefore, lacked a reasonable basis for its outlook on user rates and advertising revenues. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. What Now: You may be eligible to participate in the class action against Reddit, Inc. Shareholders who want to serve as lead plaintiff for the class must file their motions with the court by August 18, 2025.
