Needham keeps a Buy rating and $300 price target on Reddit (RDDT) but names the stock its 2026 Top Pick and adds it to the firm's "Conviction Buy" list, replacing Roku (ROKU). The firm is positive on the company having 100% human-created content, which optimizes trust, authenticity, and value to LLMs, the analyst tells investors in a research note, further stating that Reddit is already generating over $100M per year in fees from OpenAI and Google's (GOOGL) Gemini, and this "could double" with Anthropic and Perplexity fees. Needham also notes that Reddit is the fastest growing company in its coverage, while its Performance Ads give the company "full-funnel ad solutions" and a larger share of ad budgets.

Roth Capital keeps a Buy rating and $60 price target on Hut 8 (HUT). The company has signed one of the more favorable high-performance-compute lease agreements announced, with 245MW capacity to Fluidstack valued at $7B and 97% operating margins, including a full backstop from Google (GOOGL), and its improved economics and backstop have positioned Hut 8 to secure more favorable project financing term, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Combined with construction partners and Fluidstack's optionality on behalf of Anthropic, this enables Hut 8 to scale its power portfolio to more than 2GW, the firm added.
