Reason

UBS lowered the firm's price target on Pinterest to $40 from $48 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The Q4 earnings outlook for advertising-driven companies points to slimmer beats after a slow October tied to a government shutdown, followed by a rebound in November and December, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Among nine companies, five exceeded prior forecasts, two were in line, and two came in modestly below expectations, UBS says.

Reason

Wolfe Research analyst Shweta Khajuria lowered the firm's price target on Pinterest to $33 from $36 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. 2026 could be another positive year for Internet stocks, though maybe not as much outperformance as the prior three years given current, elevated multiples for some of the firm's coverage, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm added that it sees opportunities for estimates upside driven by AI developments and product catalysts, a relatively healthy macro backdrop, successful capital allocation, and pockets of re-rating potential.

downgrade

Outperform -> Neutral

Reason

Wedbush earlier today downgraded Pinterest to Neutral from Outperform with a price target of $30, down from $34. The company reported "mixed" Q3 results and its outlook assumes a "less constructive range of outcomes" for the platform given macro uncertainty and tariff implications, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm thinks investors are also increasingly contemplating risks from rising consumer adoption of competing agentic commerce. It believes Pinterest in track to hit the lower end of its intermediate-term target and that the stock's valuation is more balanced at current levels. Wedbush sees limited visibility into catalysts that could meaningfully reaccelerate Pinterest's growth.

Overweight

Reason

Morgan Stanley lowered the firm's price target on Pinterest to $32 from $41 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. Revenue trends continue to come in lower than expected amid macro pressures and low advertiser diversity, notes the firm as it lowers near term estimates. However, the firm says catalysts seen into 2026, coupled with "a valuation reset," lead it to keep an Overweight rating on the shares.
