Should you buy Pinterest stock? (November 2023)

I've started something new: https://www.3minutebreakdowns.com Pinterest stock analysis. Ticker: PINS Pinterest, ticker symbol PINS, reported earnings last week causing the stock to jump by 20%. At the current share price, the company has a market cap of 21 billion dollars. It’s got 1.2 billion of cash on its balance sheet and 1 billion of investments so the enterprise value is 18.9 billion. Pinterest’s latest earnings report was a good one. Q3 revenue grew by 11% to $763 million. Monthly active users grew 8% to 482 million and adjusted ebitda came in at $185 million. The company has now generated $3 billion of revenue over the last 12 months and $400 million of free cash flow. However, net income is still negative, mostly due to stock-based compensation. So right now, Pinterest stock is valued at 6 times revenue or 44 times free cash flow. Pinterest has been criticized in the past for moving too slowly. After all, the company has spent 3.5 billion dollars over the last 4 years on R&D and doesn’t seem to have much to show for it. However, new CEO Bill Ready is making some clever moves. A focus on better curation is improving engagement for the Pinterest app and providing a better shopping experience. The business is less reliant on SEO and is partnering with third parties like Amazon, which allow Amazon ads to show on Pinterest. #stocks #investing #stockmarket #pinsstock #pinterest
