Why now
Internet Content & Information · market cap $13.3b. Down 39% from 52-week high of $38.57 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +17%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.36 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 36 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $28.99 (implying +24% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Trailing P/E 69.0x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Down 39% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $28.99 (36-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $42.45 at ~13% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $62.97 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect PINS to earn is materially higher (+6.9%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Pinterest, Inc. (PINS): score, valuation & FAQ

Pinterest, Inc. (PINS) is a Internet Content & Information company that scores 68.8 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are PEG (A), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). On valuation, PINS sits about 53% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Bull Rankings scores PINS 68.8 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by PEG (A), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Pinterest, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does PINS score 68.8 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). PINS earns its highest marks on PEG (A), Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is PINS overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $23.47, PINS sits about 53% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -7% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 69.0x P/E (graded C). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in PINS?

Trailing P/E 69.0x prices in sustained high growth — any quarter that disappoints triggers sharp re-rating. Down 39% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
