About Pinterest Inc.
Pinterest, Inc. is a US image-based social bookmarking and idea-search company founded in 2010, headquartered in San Francisco, California, and listed on the NYSE under PINS. The company operates a calendar fiscal year. 2024 revenue was approximately $3.65 billion, up 19% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of around $1.07 billion and a non-GAAP operating margin near 29%. Roughly 80% of 2024 revenue came from the United States and Canada, with the rest from Europe (15%) and Rest of World (5%).
Monthly active users reached approximately 553 million at the end of Q4 2024, up 11% year-over-year. Roughly 80% of monthly actives are now outside the US and Canada, but US users monetise at approximately $9.00 in ARPU per quarter versus roughly $1.20 for European users and $0.13 for Rest of World users. Closing the international monetisation gap is one of the central bull theses.
Pinterest competes for ad spend with Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Snap, TikTok, and Google in the US digital ad market. The company has differentiated by positioning itself as a shopping-intent platform rather than a feed-based social network, with deep integrations with Shopify (announced 2024 expansion), Amazon (US ad partnership signed in 2023, expanded to Europe in 2024), and Google (announced 2024 ad-tech partnership).
At LHFX you trade PINS as a CFD on the NYSE listing, not by buying the share. You profit or lose based on PINS share-price movement, and you can go long or short. Settlement is in USD. Pinterest has never paid a dividend and has stated no current plan to do so. The company is in the middle of a $2 billion share-repurchase authorisation.
Maximum leverage on PINS CFDs at LHFX is 1:20. Trading hours are US cash-equity hours, 14:30 to 21:00 UTC Monday to Friday. Commission is $3 per side on raw spreads. PINS is one of the more earnings-volatile mid-cap social-media names, with quarterly results that can produce 15 to 25% gaps. CFDs let you take a directional view with defined margin and the ability to short.
What moves PINS
- 01Quarterly user growth and ARPU. Pinterest reports monthly active users by geography (US/Canada, Europe, Rest of World) and ARPU by geography each quarter. Beats or misses on either metric routinely drive 10 to 20% gaps. The Q3 2024 international ARPU acceleration commentary drove a +15% same-day move.
- 02Amazon and Shopify ad partnerships. The Amazon Ads partnership (US 2023, Europe 2024) is the central new-revenue catalyst. Updates on ramp pace, Rest of World rollout, and Amazon's contribution to PINS revenue are watched on each quarterly call.
- 03Meta and Snap results. PINS trades closely with peer digital-ad names. A strong Meta or Snap quarter typically pulls PINS up 2 to 5% in the same week; a weak result drags PINS down. The largest correlation is with Snap, given similar mid-cap and ad-revenue dynamics.
- 04Generative AI in shopping. Pinterest has launched AI-driven search and shopping features (Pinterest Trends, AI-personalised home feed). Commentary on engagement metrics from these features and competitive positioning against TikTok Shop and Instagram Shopping shifts forward growth estimates.
- 05US presidential and political-ad cycles. Pinterest carries some exposure to US political-ad spend (less direct than Meta or Google), and the 2024 US election and subsequent off-year ad-spend reset affect 2025 and 2026 comp dynamics.
How to trade PINS at LHFX
Open an LHFX account and fund it. Minimum deposit is $10. Card and crypto deposits settle in around 20 minutes; bank wires take 1 to 3 business days.
Open MetaTrader 5 or the LHFX Trade web platform and add PINS to Market Watch. Trading hours are 14:30 to 21:00 UTC Monday to Friday. Spreads are raw with a flat $3 per side commission, so a round-trip costs $6 plus the natural spread.
Size your position to your account, not to the 1:20 cap. PINS is one of the more earnings-volatile mid-cap social names. Daily 2 to 4% moves are common, earnings days produce 10 to 25% gaps on the following open, and peer-earnings days (Meta, Snap) drive 3 to 6% sympathy moves. A reasonable starting position is one where a 15% adverse PINS move costs no more than 2 to 3% of your account.
Set a stop loss before entry. PINS gaps after the close on earnings and on peer results during after-hours.
Use limit orders around earnings (typically early February, early May, early August, early November) and avoid holding leveraged PINS through earnings unless the gap is the trade. The first hour after an earnings gap sees the widest spreads of the quarter.
Worked example. On a $1,000 account at a $30 PINS price, opening 8 shares of PINS CFD requires $12 margin at 1:20 leverage (8 shares x $30 / 20). A 15% adverse move on those 8 shares costs $36, or 3.6% of your account. If you instead opened 30 shares ($45 margin), the same 15% move costs $135, or 13.5% of the account. Run the math on every entry before clicking buy.
Risks specific to PINS
PINS carries two stock-specific risks beyond general equity-market exposure. The first is digital-ad share risk. PINS competes for ad spend with Meta, Snap, TikTok, Google, and Amazon. Pinterest's roughly 1.5% share of the US digital-ad market makes it a price-taker in the broader ad ecosystem. A general digital-ad-spend slowdown (typically led by Meta's quarterly guide-down) compresses PINS faster than larger peers. Conversely, the smaller share means PINS has more relative upside if it successfully closes the international monetisation gap.
The second is engagement-fragility risk. Pinterest's user growth has reaccelerated since 2023, but US monthly actives remain well below the 2021 peak. Any sustained quarter-over-quarter US MAU decline raises questions about whether the platform has structurally lost share to TikTok or Instagram Shopping. Earnings nights where MAU surprises negatively have produced -15 to -25% gaps in recent years.
Mitigations. Keep position size small enough that a 15 to 20% earnings-gap move is survivable. Set a hard stop before entry. Avoid holding leveraged PINS into earnings unless the gap is the trade. Watch Meta and Snap weekly as leading indicators for PINS.
