The company reported a 12% year-over-year increase in global monthly active users for the fourth quarter, reaching an all-time high of 619 million. That surpassed Wall Street's expectation of 613 million. But Pinterest projected first-quarter sales to range from $951 million to $971 million, falling short of analysts' estimates of $980 million.Multiple Wall Street firms downgraded the stock or reduced their target prices after the report. Concerns include decelerating growth, challenges in monetization, retailer withdrawals, and intensified competition due to AI advancements.Read NextDec 1, 2025 •By Prosper Junior Bakiny2 Stocks to Buy Near Their 52-Week LowsNov 25, 2025 •By Parkev Tatevosian, CFAPinterest Stock Investors Need to Know These Latest FiguresNov 25, 2025 •By Parkev Tatevosian, CFAWhat's Going On With Pinterest Stock?Nov 10, 2025 •By Geoffrey SeilerPinterest Shares Plummet.
