An update from Pinterest ( (PINS) ) is now available.

Pinterest reported first-quarter 2026 results on May 4, 2026, posting revenue of $1.01 billion, up 18% year over year, and reaching a record 631 million global monthly active users, an 11% increase that marked its tenth straight quarter of double-digit user growth. Despite a GAAP net loss of $74 million, the company delivered $207 million in adjusted EBITDA, strong cash generation with $328 million from operations, and completed approximately $2 billion in share repurchases, underscoring its scale and capital-return ambitions.

Management changes accompanied these results, as Chief Accounting Officer Andrea Acosta resigned on April 30, 2026, effective May 8, 2026, to pursue another opportunity, with the company stating her departure did not stem from any disagreement. On the same effective date, the board appointed Chief Financial Officer Julia Brau Donnelly as principal accounting officer, consolidating key finance responsibilities as Pinterest continues to invest in its AI-powered ads platform and monetization strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (PINS) stock is a Buy with a $23.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pinterest stock, see the PINS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PINS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PINS is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high margins, low leverage, and strong free-cash-flow generation) and a generally constructive earnings outlook despite acknowledged near-term monetization and execution headwinds. These positives are materially offset by weak technicals (price below key moving averages with negative MACD) and a relatively expensive valuation (high P/E with no dividend support).
