Investment Summary
Pinterest Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>) is a leading online platform where users can shop products. The company has been successful in harnessing the power of AI that has delivered benefits to all of its stakeholders – customers, advertisers and the business internally. Moreover, transformation of its ad platform has helped the company to deliver a record quarter with over $1 billion in revenues. The company's international business, which is growing at a stellar pace compared to its US business holds promise to deliver future growth. Our fair value estimate for the stock is $36.00.
Overview
Pinterest Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PINS#NYSE">PINS</a>) is an online platform for visual search and discovery that helps its users to find inspiration, curate ideas and shop products. The company boasts of around half a billion monthly active users globally.
Several AI-based initiatives delivering significant benefits
In the last one year, PINS has undertaken several AI-based initiatives, that have delivered significant benefits. In our view, these initiatives have benefited all the stakeholders such as customers, advertisers and the business internally.
First, PINS has managed to increase the context that feeds into the AI model based on&nbsp;<a href="https://s204.q4cdn.com/369458543/files/doc_earnings/2024/q4/transcript/Q4-2024-Transcript.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saves and clicks by 30-fold.&nbsp;</a>More powerful ML models mean better understanding of the content the customers might enjoy. We believe this has delivered significant results as evidenced by 250 bps increase in saves and 150 bps increase in outbound clicks. Moreover, this has been achieved with minimal increase in the infrastructure spend.
Second, on the monetization side, AI has helped deliver relevant ad loads to the users. In the lower funnel phase of shopping journey more ads are displayed while a few in the upper funnel of the discovery phase. This has resulted in doubling of relevance for top ad slots.
Third, is use of AI by internal engineering teams to enhance productivity. The teams use coding assistants and around 15% of the code is generated through AI.
Lastly, AI has delivered results for advertisers in terms of better performance and efficiency by automating much of the campaign process.
In our view, PINS is well positioned to harness the benefits of AI across its business processes.
Transformation of Ad Platform improves monetization and benefits advertisers
PINS has successfully managed to transform its ad platform, that in our view, not only improves monetization but also delivers several benefits to the advertisers.
In terms of lower funnel launches, PINS helped users directly access advertisers web or mobile property, thereby significantly increasing the clicks. Moreover, it used privacy centric measurement tools enabling the advertisers to accurately measure the spend.
Moreover, it launched promotional ads to highlight special offers during key promotional periods. This has resulted in 18% increase in conversion rate as compared to ads without promotion.
Further, PINS has helped advertisers to automate their campaigns and improve performance through lower CPCs and CPAs.
We believe these steps have delivered significant results. PINS has manged to report a record quarter with more than $1 billion in revenue in a single quarter underpinned by strong ad platform. Moreover, the company witnessed record revenues during cyber 5 holiday while lowering CPAs by 30% YOY.
International business &#8211; the next growth engine
With a 22% share of overall revenues for 4Q24, in our view, the international business holds promise to become the next growth engine for PINS.
The company's international business – both Europe and Rest of the World have delivered stellar performance as compared to the core US and Canada business. In terms of topline growth, Europe segment grew by 21% YOY during 4Q24 and RoW increased by a solid 44% as compared to just 16% for US and Canada.
Moreover, the MAU growth for Europe was strong at 7% and RoW reported 15% growth that is significantly better than 4% for US and Canada. Likewise, the ARPU growth for RoW was 24% that was almost double than 12% for US and Canada.
The company has entered into partnerships with Amazon Ads and Google and launched resellers in over 30 markets. In our view, these efforts are paying off as evidenced by solid topline growth for RoW throughout 2024.

Share Buyback to Limit Downside
In November 2024, Pinterest announced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1506293/000150629324000182/pins-20240930.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a $2 billion share repurchase program</a>. Now, I consider this significant given the fact that this represents nearly 12% of the Company's current market capitalization. In our opinion, the large share repurchase program also implies that the management is confident of generating significant free cash flow going forward. If executed well, the buyback has the potential to not only limit the price downside but enhance return for the shareholders.
Financial Projections
In our view, PINS will be able to deliver low-teens topline growth for FY25-26 driven by the strength of its international business. We expect margins to expand as Pinterest leverages its fixed costs and drive operational efficiencies. As such, we are modelling EBITDA margins to improve from 28% in FY24 to 30% in FY25. Factoring in net interest income of $108 million and tax rate of nearly 21%, leads me to diluted EPS of $1.55 for FY 2025. For 2026, we expect sales growth of 12% YOY, and an EBITDA margin of 32%. This leads to diluted EPS of $1.83 for 2026.

Valuation
For valuation purposes, we are using P/E relative valuation to arrive at the fair value of PINS.
We have compared PINS with some of its peers. We value PINS using target multiple of 19.4x on P/E method, in line with the peer group average. Important to note that, PINS is growing faster than many of its peers over 2024-26e and as such should command a multiple at least in line with the peer group average. Based on 2026e EPS of $1.83, the fair value estimate stands at $36.00.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="596" height="200" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/29083750/3.png" alt="" class="wp-image-11825" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/29083750/3.png 596w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/29083750/3-300x101.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px" /></figure>
Risks
Below are the main risks to our investment thesis:
<ul>
<li>Given that PINS generates substantially all of its revenue from advertising, any macroeconomic slowdown could hurt its growth prospects. Dependence of key categories such as consumer packaged goods and retail also remains a risk.</li>
<li>We see third-party reliance risks especially high dependence on Amazon AWS. PINS uses AWS for majority of compute, storage and data transfer. As such any disruption to the AWS services could negatively impact PINS operations.</li>
<li>High competitive intensity is a risk. The company competes with several large and well-established players such as Amazon and Google. However, we believe that PINS' focus on AI-driven personalization and ad targeting capabilities could help it mitigate rising competitive intensity.</li>
</ul>

The U.S. posted its widest monthly goods trade deficit on record in March, as companies rushed to import foreign goods ahead of sweeping tariffs set by President Donald Trump on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">he dubbed as &#8220;Liberation Day.&#8221;</a>
The U.S. goods trade deficit widened to $161.9 billion in March 2025, up from $147.8 billion in February and smashing past Wall Street's $145 billion estimate, according to Commerce Department data released Tuesday.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Imports Surge Before Tariffs Kick In</h3>
U.S. businesses scrambled to stockpile everything from machinery to consumer electronics before the tariffs took effect.
Imports skyrocketed to $342.7 billion, up 5% month-on-month, but more strikingly, they were up 30.8% compared to March 2024—highlighting the urgency with which U.S. companies accelerated purchases of overseas goods.
Consumer goods led the surge, jumping 27.5% on the month and a staggering 55.5% over the year, to reach $102.8 billion. Imports of industrial supplies such as metals and chemicals climbed 13.5% month-on-month and 37.8% year-on-year, totaling $74.6 billion. Capital goods—machinery and equipment used for production—rose 3.8% to $92.8 billion, a 22.2% increase from a year ago. Automotive imports gained 6.6% to $41 billion.
 "The goods trade deficit continued to blow out in March,&#8221; wrote Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab &amp; Co., on social media X.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Exports Rise, But Can't Keep Up</h3>
On the export side, the numbers improved, but not nearly enough to offset the import wave.
Total exports rose 1.2% from February and 6.8% year-over-year, reaching $180.8 billion. That modest gain was led by automotive vehicles, up 7.9% from February, industrial supplies, up 3%, and foods, feeds and beverages, up 6.9%.
However, consumer goods exports fell slightly by 1.1% to $21.8 billion, signaling that overseas demand may not be as robust as the domestic race to import.
Overall, the imbalance between export and import growth underscores how skewed the U.S. trade flow became in anticipation of tariffs. While export growth was steady, it paled in comparison to the aggressive import buildup.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Historical Context: Largest Goods Deficit Ever</h3>
The March 2025 trade balance dwarfed last year's levels. The $161.9 billion shortfall compares to a $92.8 billion deficit in March 2024, a 74.6% year-over-year increase. 
That margin highlights the extent to which policy uncertainty can shake up international commerce and distort monthly trade flows.
This is the largest U.S. goods trade deficit ever recorded, surpassing pandemic-era levels when global supply chains were disrupted but demand remained elevated.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wall Street Reaction Muted</h3>
Markets reacted little to trade data as the front-loading frenzy was widely anticipated by analysts following Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement.
Corporate earnings guidance and the latest business survey throughout had already signaled the rush to import ahead of tariffs.
The S&amp;P 500 Index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – opened 0.4% lower at 5,510 points.
