Quality

60

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 60 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

41

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 41 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

65

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 65 of 100, recorded as favorable. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has been reduced at about 4.1% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

Pinterest is an AI-powered visual search and discovery platform, positioned at the intersection of search, social, and commerce. We offer a unique and differentiated experience that enables people to go from inspiration to action all on one consumer internet property. Pinterest can be accessed through our mobile application or the web.

People use Pinterest to find useful, relevant ideas—and then bring them to life. People don’t always have the words to describe what they’re looking for, but often know it when they see it. As they browse Pinterest content (called "Pins"), they fine-tune their tastes and find the perfect idea. Users interact with the platform in dynamic multi-session journeys to find inspiration, curate their latest look, plan their next project and shop from great brands. This happens at a massive scale, with billions of searches and saves per month, with the vast majority of queries being visual.

The unique, first party, intent-based signal we receive from user actions on Pinterest helps power the AI based recommendation systems that we use to surface relevant and engaging content to our users.

AI also plays a central role in how we drive value for our advertisers, who come to Pinterest to reach our users with high commercial intent. The inspiration-to-action journey on Pinterest aligns with the advertiser marketing funnel, allowing us to help brands reach customers at every stage, from discovery to purchase, through digital ads.
