Shares of Reddit Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) nosedived by 6.2% to $148.11 per share in premarket, despite closing 16% higher at $158.02 apiece on Thursday. Technical analysis points towards a bullish trend, with the stock trading at overbought levels.
What Happened: Reddit&#8217;s shareholder, Advance Magazine Publishers Inc. plans to sell as much as $1.2 billion of the company&#8217;s stake, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-21/advance-magazine-said-to-seek-1-2-billion-in-reddit-share-sale">reported</a> Bloomberg on Friday morning. The company is said to be offering 7.8 million shares in between the range of $145.38-$148.54 each.
Advance Magazine Publishers is an arm of the Newhouse family publishing empire that owns Conde Nast. The company seeks to establish a credit facility using Reddit&#8217;s stake, while buying derivatives on Reddit&#8217;s shares, which allow it to indirectly maintain an ownership stake, reported Bloomberg.
Apart from this, Reddit faced an outage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42118134/reddit-resolves-another-outage-after-morning-disruptions-impact-72000-users">on Wednesday and Thursday</a> this week. This outage stems from an HTTP error, as per TechCrunch. The platform was able to resolve the issue later.

Why It Matters: Technical analysis points towards strong support for the RDDT stock.

Thursday&#8217;s closing price of $158.02 sits above its eight, 20, and 50-day simple moving averages, signaling a bullish trend. However, the stock's distance from its 100-day moving average of $75.59 suggests potential selling opportunities with the relative strength index of 79.18 indicating overbought conditions.
While RDDT stock could face volatility, if the stake sale report holds true its recent upgrade from Piper Sandler citing strong user growth metrics, makes it attractive in the longer term.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/RDDT/analyst-ratings">Benzinga pro data</a>, Reddit has a consensus price target of $92.84 based on the ratings of 19 analysts. The high is $150 per share issued by Piper Sandler on Nov. 19 and the low is $54 apiece issued by New Street Research on March 26, 2024.
The average price target of $118.33 between Piper Sandler, Bernstein, and Citigroup implies a 19.28% downside for Reddit.

South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Co&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) incoming CEO Jose Munoz is optimistic about the future of electric vehicles despite fears of EV tariffs and incentives getting dropped or reduced under the upcoming Donald Trump presidency.
What Happened: Hyundai decided to make a big investment in America during the previous Trump administration before the introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which provides incentives for the manufacturing of electric vehicles in the U.S., Munoz said in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E3zF6S2JaQ">interview </a>with CNBC. 
&#8220;The fact that Elon Musk is so close to Trump is probably good for electric vehicles, not bad. We are not planning our business based on incentives. We want to produce really great vehicles with great features,&#8221; he said. Munoz&#8217;s appointment as co-CEO of Hyundai will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42004380/hyundai-gears-up-for-trumps-return-to-white-house-elevates-us-chief-jose-munoz-to-co-ceo-appoints-former-us-diplomat-to-manage-external-affairs">effective from January. </a>
Why It Matters: In November 2023, Hyundai announced that it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35768916/hyundai-announces-25-wage-hike-for-alabama-and-georgia-production-team-amid-labour-unrest">invest $12.6 billion in EV and battery manufacturing facilities in Georgia</a>, making it its largest investment outside South Korea. The first electric vehicle rolled off the assembly line in Georgia in October. 
Earlier this week, the company unveiled its Ioniq 9 three-row SUV which will roll out in the U.S. early next year. The Ioniq 9 will be up against other 3-row SUVs from rival automakers including Lucid Motors and General Motors and will be manufactured in Georgia. 
Hyundai now aims to have a lineup of 23 EV models by 2030.
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said Trump&#8217;s plan to get rid of consumer tax credits for EVs is actually not positive for Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). Eliminating the EV tax credit could pose a major challenge to the United States&#8217; EV transition. However, Musk, a prominent supporter of Trump, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction">reportedly expressed his support </a>to Trump's team for ending the EV tax credit.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Proximity To Trump Will Benefit EV Industry, Says Incoming Hyundai CEO As He Shrugs Off Potential Tariff Threats

Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) on Thursday announced new efforts to combat the growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/06/32920991/woman-falls-for-crypto-scammer-on-tinder-loses-entire-401-k-savings-of-100-000">threat of &#8220;pig butchering&#8221; scams</a>, which have cost Americans billions of dollars each year.
What Happened: Pig butchering scams typically involve scammers building fake online relationships with victims before convincing them to invest in fraudulent investment schemes, often involving cryptocurrency.
These scams take months to develop, with scammers using dating apps, social media platforms, and messaging apps like Telegram and WhatsApp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39991479/ferrari-executive-targeted-by-deepfake-scam-report">to lure in victims</a>.
The U.S. Institute of Peace estimates that up to 300,000 individuals were coerced into participating in scams globally by these criminal organizations, resulting in about $64 billion in stolen funds annually as of 2023.

According to Meta, the tech giant has taken down more than 2 million scam-related accounts this year and will begin flagging potential scam messages across its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Meta is sharing information with international law enforcement to help identify and shut down criminal networks behind these scams.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Pig butchering scams are a growing issue, with the FBI reporting nearly $12.5 billion in losses from online fraud in 2023 alone, marking a 22% increase from the previous year.
In May 2024, Meta, Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>), the owner of Tinder and Hinge, and several cryptocurrency firms formed a coalition.
Known as the &#8220;Tech Against Scams&#8221; coalition, these companies committed to exchanging information about scammers and improving user education.
However, that doesn't mean Zuckerberg's Meta has not faced criticism for its role in Fraud cases.
Earlier this year, South Korea&#8217;s antitrust regulator examined the possibility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37554106/facebook-and-instagrams-marketplace-practices-under-ftc-radar-in-south-korea-for-user-safety-slip-up">sanctions against Meta</a> over alleged failures in consumer protection on its online marketplaces.
In December 2022, Zuckerberg faced a lawsuit for his platform&#8217;s involvement in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/08/33981694/facebook-faces-expulsion-from-thailand-for-failing-to-crack-down-on-scams">marijuana investment scam</a>.
Some anti-scam advocates believe tech companies&#8217; efforts to combat pig butchering are insufficient and delayed.
Jake Sims, co-founder of Operation Shamrock, a global coalition dedicated to tackling scams and the criminal networks behind them, stated that merely warning users and occasionally removing accounts doesn&#8217;t address the full scope of the criminal activity involved.
&#8220;After three years of Meta's awareness of this problem on their platforms, the situation is getting worse, not better,&#8221; Sims <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/meta-removes-2-million-accounts-related-pig-butchering-scams-rcna181025">told</a> NBC News.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s shares fell by 0.43% on Thursday, closing at $563.09, and dropped an additional 0.34% in after-hours trading, reaching $561.18 as of this writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
