Pinterest Soars on Great Q1 Beat, Fastest Revenue Growth in Two Years

Pinterest shares jumped 18% in extended trading on Tuesday after the company reported first-quarter results that surpassed analysts’ expectations, showcasing its fastest revenue growth since 2021. The impressive performance underscores Pinterest’s resurgence in the digital advertising landscape. After all said and done, it looks like its been a great quarter for tech stocks beginning with Netflix and to Amazon.

The visual discovery platform’s financial metrics painted a picture of robust growth, with earnings per share of 20 cents on an adjusted basis, comfortably exceeding the 13 cents analysts had forecasted. Meanwhile, revenue for the quarter soared 23% year-over-year to $740 million, surpassing Wall Street’s estimate of $700 million.

Pinterest’s net loss narrowed substantially, clocking in at $24.8 million, or a 4-cent loss per share, a significant improvement from the $208.6 million, or 31-cent loss per share, recorded a year earlier.

Fuelling this remarkable turnaround was the company’s ability to attract and engage users, with global monthly active users (MAUs) reaching 518 million, up 12% year-over-year and surpassing analyst projections of 504.9 million. Notably, Pinterest highlighted that Generation Z represents its fastest-growing, largest, and most engaged demographic on the platform.

The company’s monetization efforts also yielded impressive results, with average revenue per user (ARPU) hitting $1.46 for the quarter, exceeding StreetAccount’s estimate of $1.40.

In the company’s first-quarter release, Pinterest CEO Bill Ready attributed the strong performance to the company’s investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and shoppability, which have driven greater returns for advertisers. “We’re executing with tremendous clarity and focus, shipping new products and experiences that users want, and in doing so, we’re finding our best product market fit in years,” Ready stated.

The robust results from Pinterest echo a broader resurgence in the digital advertising industry, as companies like Meta, Snap, and Alphabet’s Google all reported first-quarter revenues that exceeded analysts’ expectations last week. This recovery comes on the heels of a challenging 2022, when brands curtailed spending to cope with soaring inflation levels.
Looking ahead, Pinterest has set an optimistic tone for the second quarter, projecting revenue in the range of $835 million to $850 million, representing year-over-year growth of 18% to 20%. This outlook exceeds Wall Street’s expectations of $827 million in revenue.

As Pinterest continues to capitalize on its investments in AI and shoppability, while attracting and retaining users across demographics, the company appears poised to sustain its growth momentum and solidify its position as a force to be reckoned with in the ever-evolving digital advertising landscape.
