智通财经APP获悉,富国银行周一将其对Reddit(RDDT.US)的股票评级由“增持”下调至“持股观望”,理由是随着谷歌(GOOGL.US)加快推进人工智能(AI)搜索功能,搜索流量趋势将发生变化,可能对Reddit构成不利影响。
富国银行表示,由于搜索趋势的改变,预计Reddit在登录用户增长和高利润率的数据授权收入方面将受到影响。该行还表示,Reddit在广告业务方面也可能难以实现市场对于登录用户广告收入增长的预期。
富国银行认为,Reddit的估值倍数预计将继续承压,原因是用户行为正在发生迅速变化,搜索行为改变可能带来更为持久的用户流失,进而影响该公司的财务表现。
该行在一份报告中表示:“我们认为搜索行为正处于快速变化期,Reddit和其他依赖搜索推荐流量的平台一样,必须应对这一艰难时期。我们预计非登录用户将面临更持久的压力,这最终将影响登录用户的获取流程以及广告业务的长期增长潜力。随着谷歌更积极地推动AI搜索转型,我们认为Reddit面临的不确定性正在加大。”
富国银行将对Reddit的目标价由此前的168美元下调至125美元。数据显示,今年迄今为止,Reddit股价已下跌近34%,而标普500指数今年以来上涨了1.3%。
