Reddit's stock price fell sharply by 5.10% during intraday trading on Thursday, as the company was caught in a broader market downturn affecting AI and software-related shares.
The decline appears to be part of a sector-wide sell-off triggered by disappointing news from ServiceNow, which reported delays in closing several large government deals in the Middle East due to ongoing conflicts. This news sparked concerns across the AI software sector, with multiple companies experiencing significant declines including ServiceNow down 16%, Atlassian down 11%, Figma down 9%, Workday down 8%, and Snowflake and Tempus AI down around 7%.
Investor concerns about artificial intelligence tools potentially shifting enterprise clients away from traditional software products contributed to the negative sentiment across the sector, affecting Reddit alongside other companies in the AI and data space.
