Factors at Play
During the quarter, Pinterest introduced two new features, collage remixing and collage sharing, to its popular collage toolsets. The new features empower users to create and present their content in a more dynamic and engaging way.
Pinterest is also taking various initiatives to bring more actionable content on the platform from a wide range of other sources such as publishers and retailers. This has resulted in a solid improvement in engagement metrics like sessions, impressions and saves across all regions. These initiatives are expected to have supported top-line growth.
The company’s focus on improving operational rigor and incorporating sophisticated AI models to enhance relevancy and personalization is positive. Through third-party ad integration, PINS is aiming to improve monetization opportunities in several unmonetized international markets. These factors are expected to have a positive impact on the third quarter result.
