Pinterest Inc. (PINS) is having a rough Friday. Shares plunged nearly 20% in premarket trading after the visual discovery platform delivered a fourth-quarter earnings report that disappointed on multiple fronts.
The numbers weren't pretty. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Pinterest posted revenue of $1.32 billion, just shy of the $1.33 billion analysts were expecting. Adjusted earnings came in at 67 cents per share versus the anticipated 69 cents. Not huge misses, but enough to rattle investors already nervous about advertising trends.
There's a silver lining buried in there: total revenue still grew 14% year-over-year, and global monthly active users jumped 12% to an all-time high of 619 million. People are using Pinterest more than ever. They're just not generating quite as much revenue as Wall Street hoped.
The Real Problem: What's Coming Next
The bigger issue is where things are headed. Pinterest projected first-quarter revenue between $951 million and $971 million, well below the $980.12 million consensus estimate. Management pointed to tariff-driven advertising pullbacks from large retailers as a key culprit impacting the current environment. When big advertisers get nervous about tariffs and consumer spending, platforms like Pinterest feel it immediately.
What the Charts Are Saying
The technical picture isn't encouraging either. Pinterest shares have declined 52.57% over the past year, trading much closer to 52-week lows than highs. That's the kind of performance that makes investors question whether a turnaround is realistic anytime soon.
The RSI sits at 22.62, firmly in oversold territory, which suggests the stock might be undervalued short-term. But the MACD remains below its signal line, pointing to continued bearish pressure. It's a mixed signal situation: oversold but still trending down.
- Key Resistance: $15.50
- Key Support: $14.00
The Fundamental Snapshot
Looking at Pinterest's fundamental profile reveals a company with contradictions. The growth score is impressive at 95.17, indicating strong expansion potential. Value scores neutral at 69.3, suggesting reasonable pricing relative to peers. But the quality score of 31.49 raises red flags about underlying fundamentals, and the momentum score of 2.32 confirms the stock is badly underperforming the broader market.
PINS Price Action: Pinterest shares were down 19.20% at $14.98 during premarket trading on Friday.
