Long Picks

Reddit, Inc. RDDT

Long
162.10 190.00 Target

Technical Setup

Price is back above the 50-DMA (~156–158) and below the 200-DMA (~188–191), a constructive setup if it can hold above the 50-DMA and attack the 200-DMA next. 20-DMA near ~164. Average daily volume ~5M+ shares, ample liquidity.

Fundamental Driver

Momentum from rapid ad revenue growth and expanding data-licensing economics. Q1 2026 highlighted 70%+ YoY ad growth, strong DAU trends, and Q2 revenue guide in the ~$715–$725M range. Ongoing AI/data licensing with Google and OpenAI offers high-margin, recurring revenue optionality.

Analyst Detail

Core long argument: Reddit is transitioning from a single-stream ad business toward a dual-engine model (ads + high-margin data licensing for AI), with accelerating advertiser adoption and improving monetization tools. The stock recently reclaimed its 50-DMA and has room back toward the 200-DMA; fundamentally, consensus 12-month PTs (~$230+) imply meaningful upside, and our nearer 1–3 month target ($190) reflects potential re-rating if it sustains above the 50-DMA into late June and sentiment improves around data deals. Near-term catalyst schedule (next 10–15 trading sessions): (1) June 26, 2026 – FTSE Russell U.S. index reconstitution effective after close (supportive; potential passive inflows/weight changes). (2) No announced earnings or ex-dividend dates in the window (neutral). (3) Ongoing news flow on AI/data licensing renegotiations (supportive if economics improve; headline risk if talks stall, but base case supportive). 5-day move check: Based on recent closes on Yahoo Finance, the 5-session change has been within ~10%; no extreme +/-10% swing to flag. Entry logic: pullbacks toward the 50-DMA (~156–158) are buyable with a stop just below; a push through the 200-DMA (~188–191) can accelerate toward our $190 target in 1–3 months.

Instacart (Maplebear Inc.) CART

Long
41.25 48.00 Target

Technical Setup

Shares are grinding above both the 50-DMA (~40.7–41.5) and the 200-DMA (~40.3–40.5), indicating a constructive base with support near $40. Average daily volume ~3.9–4.0M shares. A push through ~$43–44 could open room into high-$40s.

Fundamental Driver

Q1 2026 revenue +14% YoY to ~$1.02B with orders +10% YoY; retail media/ads continues to scale as a second engine alongside marketplace take rate. Expanding partnerships (e.g., ALDI nationwide digital experience) and broader retail media integrations (e.g., TikTok/closed-loop measurement initiatives) support higher-margin growth.

Analyst Detail

Core long argument: Instacart is executing on an ads-and-commerce flywheel: growing order volume and retailer coverage, improving ad tech and closed-loop measurement, and a path to expanding margins as retail media penetrates more CPG budgets. With shares just above key MAs and valuation still reasonable for a marketplace + retail media platform, a near-term push toward $48 is plausible on technical continuation and incremental partnership/newsflow. Near-term catalyst schedule (next 10–15 trading sessions): (1) June 26, 2026 – FTSE Russell U.S. index reconstitution effective after close (supportive/neutral; potential weight changes and passive flows). (2) No earnings or ex-dividend dates in the window (neutral). (3) Ongoing retail media/product activation headlines (supportive if new integrations or advertiser wins are announced). 5-day move check: Price action over the past week has been within low-single-digit percent; no >10% swing. Entry logic: Buy pullbacks toward ~$40–41 support (50/200-DMA zone) with a stop modestly below $40; a breakout over ~$43–44 can accelerate toward $48 over 1–3 months.
