Shares of PINS.N fell sharply today, reaching a 20-day low as investors reacted to Pinterest's mixed Q3 earnings report. Despite reporting a 17% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.05 billion and a significant rise in net income, the stock declined due to an earnings per share miss and conservative guidance for Q4. The company has been investing heavily in AI to enhance user engagement, yet faces stiff competition from platforms like Reddit and Snap, which have seen stronger ARPU growth. Ark Invest's recent decision to trim its stake in Pinterest further reflects concerns about the stock's momentum, despite its strong fundamentals and low valuation compared to the industry.

However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
