Read MoreHide Full Article

Pinterest, Inc. (PINS - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 3, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 16.7%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 50.1%, on average.

The San Francisco, CA-based company is expected to have recorded year-over-year higher revenues driven by products for creators and brands that bring video content and shoppable features to Pinterest.

Factors at Play

During the quarter, Pinterest acquired Vochi, a video creation and editing app focused on democratizing tools for creators. The acquisition reflects its commitment to helping creators bring more quality video content to Pinterest.

The company also launched several new updates to keep shopping on Pinterest exciting for more than 400 million global monthly Pinners. These developments are likely to have positively impacted Pinterest’s performance in the quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $833 million, which indicates growth of 18% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 48 cents, suggesting an increase of 11.6%.
