It's still down about 20% since October, though, so I don't think we should read too much into just the headline jump.

They're only guiding for minimal revenue growth in 2026, under 5%, no margin expansion.
This, they say, is temporary.
They're doing model changeovers.

I don't get why it's working.
I think I still like this company, but it's still trading at more than 30 times expected earnings.
There's tariffs, there's macro.
I kind of get why the market's sort of, meh.
Yeah, so they matched expectations on earnings.
They grew revenue by 14%, but that was a little shy of expectations.

They're basically saying that tariffs are depressing sales among their customers, and that's leading to fewer ad sales.

If retailers are pulling back ad spending just a bit, it is affecting Pinterest more because those are the easiest ones to cut?
