On July 29, 2025, Pinterest (PINS) saw a trading volume of $370 million, a 66.54% increase from the prior day, ranking it 315th in volume activity. The stock closed down 0.52%, underperforming broader market trends.

Recent developments highlight investor sentiment around Pinterest. Analysts at Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to "Overweight" from "Equal Weight," citing the platform’s strategic investments and potential for long-term growth. Additionally, Simply Wall St. noted Pinterest’s improving returns on capital, suggesting underlying operational strength. The company has also drawn attention for its expanding user base and global ad tool adoption, which analysts view as key drivers for future performance.

Despite a 24% year-to-date gain in its stock price, Pinterest faces mixed market dynamics. Zacks Investment Research highlighted its inclusion in mid-cap growth discussions, emphasizing its potential amid competitive pressures. However, the stock’s recent decline reflects cautious positioning, as investors await its upcoming earnings report on August 7. The Zacks Consensus projects 17.2% year-over-year earnings growth, though past results have shown an average surprise margin of just 0.5%.
