Jefferies lowered its rating for Pinterest from &#8220;buy&#8221; to &#8220;hold&#8221; and reduced the price target from $40 to $32, citing challenges in the platform&#8217;s ability to transition advertisers from experimental spending to consistent &#8220;always-on&#8221; ad campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts have expressed skepticism about the immediate impact of Pinterest&#8217;s new AI-driven advertising tools, such as Performance+, suggesting that it may be premature to expect these innovations to deliver the mid-teens revenue growth anticipated by Wall Street in the first quarter. Jefferies projects a 10% growth, which is below the consensus estimate of 13% from Visible Alpha.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these concerns, Pinterest&#8217;s CEO, Bill Ready, has highlighted the company&#8217;s investments in AI and lower-funnel ad tools, noting that features like direct links are among the fastest-growing segments. In the third quarter, Pinterest reported an 18% increase in revenue to $898.4 million, slightly surpassing estimates, though this growth did not fully meet analysts&#8217; expectations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative inline-flex items-center\">The stock market has responded to these developments, with Pinterest&#8217;s shares falling more than 1% in recent trading and declining approximately 18% over the past 12 months.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinterest&#8217;s stock faces a downturn as analysts voice concerns over its ability to grow ad revenue.
