Pinterest Shares Plunge 20% After Earnings Miss and Disappointing Guidance
Pinterest (PINS) shares plummeted nearly 20% after Q3 earnings missed EPS estimates and provided weak holiday season guidance. While revenue grew 17% year-over-year to $1.05 billion and MAUs reached 600 million, the forecast for Q4 revenue fell short of expectations. The company cited moderating ad spend in the U.S. and Canada due to tariff-related margin pressures for larger retailers, impacting the home furnishing category. Despite AI investments and user growth, Pinterest faces a competitive ad landscape dominated by tech giants.
