Pinterest (PINS - Free Report) closed at $23.59 in the latest trading session, marking a -0.8% move from the prior day. This change was narrower than the S&P 500's 1.17% loss on the day. Elsewhere, the Dow lost 1.02%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 2.45%.
Coming into today, shares of the digital pinboard and shopping tool company had gained 4.85% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector lost 8.27%, while the S&P 500 lost 5.25%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Pinterest as it approaches its next earnings release. The company is expected to report EPS of $0.28, down 42.86% from the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $883.86 million, up 4.39% from the prior-year quarter.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Pinterest. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. Pinterest is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Pinterest has a Forward P/E ratio of 32.03 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 41.93, so we one might conclude that Pinterest is trading at a discount comparatively.
We can also see that PINS currently has a PEG ratio of 2.16. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate. The Internet - Software was holding an average PEG ratio of 1.83 at yesterday's closing price.
The Internet - Software industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 68, putting it in the top 27% of all 250+ industries.
