Quick Glance: Reddit Shares Surge 48% in Market Debut
  • Reddit shares ended their first day of trading in New York up 48 per cent, signaling that investor appetite for initial public offerings of promising yet loss-making companies could be returning.

  • While Reddit still relies on advertising for the vast majority of its revenue, it positioned its content in its IPO marketing as training grounds for AI programs and disclosed an investigation by the US Federal Trade Commission into its AI data licensing deals.

  • Shares of Reddit opened on the New York Stock Exchange at $47 and surged to $50.44 after pricing at $34 in the IPO.

  • Reddit's entry into public markets was long overdue, and although the allocation of shares to users and retailers poses risks, the extremely bullish sentiment from retail traders on platforms like Stocktwits indicates that the cult brand Reddit continues to hold a significant cultural presence in the social media world.

Quick Glance: New Biden Administration Rule May Impact 'Gig' Work and Contracting
  • The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a final rule that will compel companies to treat some workers as employees rather than cheaper independent contractors.

  • The rule is expected to increase labor costs for industries reliant on contract labor or freelancers, such as trucking, manufacturing, healthcare, and app-based 'gig' services.

  • Most federal and state labor laws, like those mandating a minimum wage and overtime pay, only apply to a company's employees.

  • Studies indicate that employees can cost companies up to 30% more than independent contractors.
