Following a strong earnings report, Reddit's Chief Financial Officer announced the company plans to pursue mergers and acquisitions. During the Q4 2025 earnings call on February 5, 2026, the CFO stated Reddit is looking to buy "capabilities, technologies and companies" where it makes sense for the business.
The M&A strategy was revealed alongside blowout quarterly results that surpassed analyst expectations and the authorization of a new $1 billion share repurchase program. The company's focus is expected to be on acquiring ad tech and other smaller companies to accelerate growth by bringing in proven technology rather than building all capabilities in-house.
