Pinterest stock delivered USD 1.18 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue, up 18 percent from the prior-year period. The company also reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.43 versus a USD 0.36 consensus estimate, making monetization and artificial intelligence the central growth indicators.
Revenue growth stays double digit
According to Yahoo Finance on September 3, 2026, Pinterest's Q2 adjusted EPS of USD 0.43 exceeded the USD 0.36 consensus by 19.44 percent, while revenue rose 18 percent year over year to USD 1.18 billion.
The operating picture extended beyond advertising sales. Global monthly active users increased 11 percent year over year to 640 million, marking the company's 12th consecutive quarter with record users, according to Yahoo Finance.
Q3 guidance sets the next test
Pinterest guided for Q3 2026 revenue of USD 1.19 billion to USD 1.21 billion, implying year-over-year growth of 13 percent to 15 percent. Adjusted EBITDA guidance stood at USD 335 million to USD 355 million, while the full-year adjusted EBITDA margin outlook rose to 30 percent from 29 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.
The guidance shows a measured deceleration from Q2's 18 percent revenue growth, but it keeps the company in a double-digit expansion profile. For investors, the key issue is whether higher infrastructure spending can coexist with the improved advertising monetization shown in Q2.
Analysts keep a Hold consensus
MarketBeat reported on September 12, 2026, that 37 research firms assigned Pinterest a consensus Hold rating, with 19 Hold ratings and 18 Buy ratings. The average 12-month price target was USD 27.90.
The next scheduled earnings report is listed for November 4, 2026, by Investing.com. That report will test the Q3 revenue range and the margin outlook against the stronger Q2 comparison base.
