Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Pinterest reports Q3 2025 results on Nov. 4, with revenue growth expected year over year.
  • New ad formats like Top of Search and Local Inventory ads are boosting advertiser value.
  • ARPU is projected at $7.6 in the U.S. and Canada and $1.33 in Europe, reflecting steady monetization.

Pinterest, Inc. (PINS - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2025 results on Nov. 4, after the closing bell. The company reported 33 cents per share earnings during the last quarter.

The company is expected to witness top-line expansion year over year, driven by increasing user engagement worldwide. Focus on AI integration and growing popularity among Gen Z users are tailwinds.

Factors at Play

Pinterest is benefiting from healthy demand trends across several demographics in multiple regions. Gen Z, which accounts for more than 50% of the monthly active users, is the fastest-growing, with millennials being the second fastest-growing user segment. Fashion, apparel, beauty and home décor categories are witnessing healthy traction.

In the United States, the company is witnessing solid market traction among the Hispanic community. One in three Hispanic adults uses Pinterest at least once a month, and the number of searches in Spanish has increased 18% year over year in 2025. 

During the quarter, Pinterest introduced Top of Search ads and Local Inventory ads. Inventory ads give shoppers an overview of what products are available nearby. This allows advertisers to reach the right audience efficiently. The Top of Search ads help businesses showcase their ad directly within the top 10 search results. These innovative tools are driving the click-through rates and generating more value for advertisers and shoppers.

The company is also able to expand beyond its traditional niche female audience base, as male audience growth accelerates across several categories such as healthcare, fitness, tech and finance.
