Pinterest stock misses Q3 estimates as Europe monetization weakens
Published on 10/30/2026 at 02:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSPinterest results and outlook
- Third-quarter revenue and adjusted earnings per share missed the cited expectations.
- Monthly active users reached a record 661 million, while European average revenue per user declined.
- Management's fourth-quarter revenue outlook implied slower growth than in the latest reported quarter.
Pinterest reported third-quarter results on October 29, 2026, with revenue and earnings below the expectations cited by 24/7 Wall St. The company had announced that it would release results after the market close, and the related SEC filing confirms the reporting period ended September 30, 2026.
Revenue misses as users expand
Third-quarter revenue was USD 1.17 billion, below the cited USD 1.21 billion expectation. Earnings per share came in at USD 0.46 versus an expected USD 0.49. The results show a widening gap between audience growth and the platform's ability to monetize that audience in some markets.
Monthly active users reached a record 661 million, up 10 percent year over year. Europe was the main pressure point in the cited analysis: regional revenue was USD 193 million, flat from a year earlier, while average revenue per user declined 7 percent.
Fourth-quarter outlook signals caution
Pinterest guided for fourth-quarter revenue of USD 1.43 billion to USD 1.48 billion. According to the cited report, that range implied growth of 8 to 12 percent and fell short of expectations, pointing to a slower pace than the latest quarter.
GAAP net income declined 77 percent to USD 21.5 million. The cited analysis identified share-based compensation as the largest contributor to the sharper decline in GAAP profitability, an item investors should distinguish from any adjusted earnings measure.
