Reddit Surges 16% on Strong Q2 Outlook; Apple Faces Mac Shortage as AI Demand Outpaces Supply

Reddit’s stock rose 16% before market open on Friday after the company issued a higher-than-expected revenue outlook for the coming quarter. Daily active visitors grew 17% to 126.8 million, while average revenue per user worldwide jumped 44%, driven by AI-powered advertising solutions that help advertisers write copy and manage campaigns.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said on the company’s Q2 earnings call that demand for Mac minis and Mac Studios has outpaced expectations due to developers using them for an AI agent platform called OpenClaw. The base model M4 Mac mini is sold out on Apple’s website, with refurbished units selling for as much as $979 on eBay. Cook flagged memory chip costs as a longer-term concern, noting that memory prices have risen sharply as chip supply is being funneled into AI data centers.

Meta plans to issue $25 billion in debt to back AI: In 2026, capital expenditures are set to reach $145 billion

Meta completed the issuance of $25 billion across six tranches on 4/30, with maturities extending to 2066. The initial yield was about 180 basis points higher than U.S. Treasuries, with subscriptions of around $96 billion but lower than the previous round. At the same time, it raised its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to $125–$145 billion. The founders also admitted there is still no detailed, item-by-item AI product plan. After the earnings report, the stock price fell 7%, suggesting the market still doubts whether the AI investment can “monetize.” If ROI remains unclear, the risk is twofold: an upcoming debt issuance wave from tech giants over the next 12 months and the widening of credit spreads.
