The success of the IPO is contingent in part on the state of the IPO market, which has struggled in recent years.
When Reddit first began preparing to go public in late 2021 — a record-breaking year for venture capital — some thought the company could be valued as high as $15 billion in an IPO.
Investors are hoping that 2024 will be a more active year for the IPO market.
This year's IPO market may also be helped by the Fed's promised rate cuts and a weak M&A market.
The last time a social media company went public was in 2019.
