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.
