Reddit's Stock Rises 0.58% Despite 48.49% Volume Drop to $980M Ranking 101st in Market Activity

On September 11, 2025, Reddit (RDDT) rose 0.58% despite a 48.49% drop in trading volume to $980 million, ranking 101st in market activity. The stock's muted volume contrasted with broader market trends, as institutional activity remained subdued ahead of key earnings releases in the tech sector.

Recent developments highlighted Reddit's strategic partnerships in AI integration and ad-tech infrastructure. A key collaboration with a major cloud provider was disclosed, aiming to enhance content moderation tools. Additionally, the platform announced a revised revenue-sharing model for creators, potentially expanding its monetization avenues beyond traditional advertising.

Analysts noted the stock's resilience amid mixed market sentiment, with some attributing the modest gain to improved user engagement metrics reported in Q2 earnings. However, concerns over ad load growth and competition from emerging social platforms tempered optimism. Regulatory scrutiny over data privacy practices remained a lingering overhang for the sector.

To run this back-test robustly, I need to pin down two practical details: 1. Stock universe • “Top 500 by daily trading volume” can mean very different lists depending on the exchange (e.g., NYSE + NASDAQ only, or all U.S. common stocks, or perhaps another market). • Please confirm which exchange(s) we should scan each day. 2. Trade execution convention • A common workflow is: a) Rank yesterday’s trading-volume data after the market close. b) Buy the selected names at today’s open. c) Hold one full trading day and exit at today’s close. • Is this the holding logic you have in mind, or would you prefer “buy at yesterday’s close, sell at today’s close”? Once I have these two points, I can generate the data-retrieval plan, pull the necessary data, and run the back-test.
