Company Report

Pinterest Earnings: Momentum Continues to Build With Users and Advertisers

In line with our expectation for accelerating growth, Pinterest delivered strong first-quarter results as user engagement and monetization continued to improve. Management expects strong growth to continue as recent efforts to attract more ad dollars attract more advertisers. The firm also plans to ramp up operating expense growth to invest further in artificial intelligence and sales personnel. We are maintaining our $43 fair value estimate, leaving the shares roughly fairly valued after rallying on earnings.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Pinterest users interact with ideas across a wide range of product categories, like home decor and fashion, providing an extremely attractive target audience for advertisers.

Bears

Instagram could leverage its far larger user base to poach Pinterest engagement as it enhances its Pinterest equivalent, Collections, and expands its visual search capabilities.

The company generates revenue by selling digital ads and is now rolling out more in-platform e-commerce features. About 20% of users reside in the US and Canada, but the region accounted for about 80% of revenue in 2023.
