🚀 Reddit Rocket

Reddit's newly-listed stock closed up 30% today. Plus, can Carnival cruise to smoother waters?

Happy Monday, Zingers! March Madness wasn’t too “mad” this year. Winners won 15 out of the 16 games over the weekend, going 11-5 against the spread. It was a rough go for anyone like myself who chronically roots for the underdog.

But betting on the favorites turned out well for gamblers and investors alike. Names like Apple, NVIDIA and Google traded higher throughout the day. I know right? Shocker. Wonder whose bracket (or short positions) busted?

$SPY: -.28%

Briefly: You might have had a case of the Mondays today, but $RDDT’s day was quite alright.

So Basically: Reddit, which went public last Thursday, had a banner day for its first-ever Monday on the public markets.

So Then: There may be a “simple” explanation for Reddit’s surge: Inception.

Specifically: The social media platform was one of the most-mentioned stocks on its own message board, r/WallStreetBets, a subreddit that helped send meme stocks like GameStop and AMC skyrocketing in recent years.

So What? Reddit’s stock closed up 30% today, just shy of $60 per share, and was continuing to climb in after-hours trading at the time of writing. But is its short-term success just a meme — or can it be maintained?

Briefly: Carnival will report its first-quarter earnings on Wednesday. Here’s what to expect.

Back Up: Carnival stock navigated extremely rough waters in the past four years, thanks to lingering effects of the pandemic.

But Still: While the company hasn’t yet fully recovered, revenues are rising, losses are easing and Carnival is seeing strong growth in demand.

Specifically: The company said in its 2023 annual report that full-year revenues hit a record $21.6 billion and that it entered 2024 with its “best-booked position on record” for both price and occupancy.

Analysts Say: â€śWith Royal Caribbean raising its full-year 2024 outlook in late February, the bar is set high for Carnival,” per Christopher Stathoulopoulos of Susquehanna Financial Group.
