is this correct?
It doesn't sound right. It last raised money at $10B in 2021, but Fidelity, who led that round have since cut that valuation on their own books back to $6B.
I would not be surprised if that is a conservative number.
The market has moved and reddit hasn't been going in the right direction.
While that's still a lot of money, it is unprofitable, so a trade sale would make some sense. The real issue is that it comes with a lot of reputational baggage that a lot of public companies would not want.
- Zetice 3y agoI still think $6B falls into "insane", but that's my unqualified opinion, so it may not be correct. That said, I also don't think they're willing to accept the idea that even $6B might be high, so I don't think anyone would be successful with a meaningfully lower offer.
