Did PINS Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results

Pinterest posted a strong first quarter for fiscal 2026, beating analyst expectations on both the top and bottom lines as its advertising platform gained traction and global user growth remained robust. The company reported non-GAAP EPS of $0.27, ahead of the $0.22 consensus estimate by 24.71%, while revenue of $1.01 billion grew 17.8% year over year and cleared the $968.12 million Wall Street forecast by 4.07%, propelled by a 59% revenue surge in its Rest of World segment and global monthly active users climbing 11% to 631 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 20% to $206.51 million, though on a GAAP basis the quarter produced a net loss of $73.59 million, weighed down by a $47.10 million restructuring charge and elevated share-based compensation of $231.45 million. The results arrive as multiple securities class action lawsuits allege the company misled investors about tariff-related advertising headwinds in prior periods. Looking ahead, Pinterest guided Q2 2026 revenue of $1.13 billion to $1.15 billion, representing 14% to 16% growth year over year, with adjusted EBITDA expected between $256 million and $276 million.
