Pinterest’s stock has been in a narrow range over the last few days, as investors evaluate its trajectory of growth. PINS closed the week with a price of $34.22, just a few cents below its high for this month, $35.4. It’s about 45% higher than it was in April.
Continued growth of Pinterest
Pinterest has seen a rapid growth in recent years. The company’s revenue increased from $1.69billion in 2020 to $3.64billion last year.
Pinterest has seen its monthly user base grow, from 160 millions in 2016 to 570,000,000 in 2018, making it one the leading players on social media.
The company’s growth continued in the fourth quarter, but at a slightly slower rate. The company’s revenues grew 16%, to $855,000,000. Most of the revenue came from Canada and United States.
Even though the US and Canada only account for a tiny percentage of monthly users, they bring in most of their revenue. It has 102 users monthly, which is about 17% out of 570 users.
Europe is the market with the highest revenue growth. In the first quarter, its revenue increased by 24 percent to $147 millions.
Pinterest’s EBITDA continues to grow. The company’s EBITDA increased by 36%, to $172 millions. This was due in part to its cost-cutting and revenue growth.
Continued double-digit growth
Analysts and management are confident that the company will continue to grow at double-digit rates for some time. The management has estimated the growth of the company’s revenue for the second quarter will range between $960 and $980 millions, and its EBITDA adjusted will fall between $217 and $237million.
Wall Street analysts estimate that the company’s second quarter revenue will reach $973 million. This represents a 14 percent increase in revenue. Next quarter, it will cross $1 billion.
Pinterest will have a revenue of $4.16 Billion in 2020, and $4.74 Billion by 2026. This represents yearly growth rates exceeding 14%. The revenue growth of Meta Platforms is far superior to this.
Pinterest’s stock could also be a catalyst because it is undervalued in comparison to the other social media firms. The S&P 500 has an earnings ratio of 22. Pinterest’s forward P/E is 18.
Pinterest’s stock is expected to rise further, according to analysts. Analysts have raised their average price target to $40 from $34.22. JPMorgan, Wolf Research and other analysts with an outperform and overweight rating are among the bullishest.
