Pinterest Stock Just Dropped 12% After Earnings. Is It a Red Flag, or a Buying Opportunity?
Key Points Pinterest reported strong numbers for the second quarter, especially on the top line. Monetization of non-U.S. users continues to be a strong point. Tariff-related advertising concerns are weighing on investor confidence. 10 stocks we like better than Pinterest › Pinterest (NYSE: PINS) reported its second-quarter earnings recently, and the stock fell by about 12% the next day. Although top-line revenue is growing faster than expected, the company's profitability was a little lower than analysts had hoped for, and there are some concerns about the effect of new tariffs on ad demand. In other words, there was a lot of good to balance out the bad. So why is the stock falling so much? Is it a buying opportunity for long-term investors, or would it be best to stay away for the time being? Here's a quick rundown of Pinterest's Q2 results, why the stock is down, and whether it could be a good time to buy. Pinterest's second quarter: The good and the bad We'll start with the good. Pinterest reported top-line revenue that grew by 17% year over year and handily surpassed analysts' expectations. Not only that, but the company gave upbeat third-quarter revenue guidance, and the platform added 8 million users for the quarter, nearly twice as many as were projected. There are now 578 million monthly active users worldwide, and there was growth in all three geographical segments Pinterest reports (U.S & Canada, Europe, and Rest of World). The weakness, however, came on the bottom line. Pinterest missed earnings per share (EPS) estimates by two cents, which appears to be the main negative in the earnings report. To be sure, other profitability metrics were quite strong. Free cash flow margin was almost 20%, compared with just 12% in the second quarter of 2024. Monetization of the user base is also progressing nicely, especially outside of the U.S., which is where the bulk of Pinterest users are. Average revenue per user (ARPU) from the platform's 146 million European users grew by 26%. In the crucial Rest of World group, which includes 329 million users, Pinterest generated 44% more than it did a year ago. This remains a massive opportunity, as the average user in this group still generates less than 3% of the revenue that a typical U.S. user brings in. Pinterest has $2.66 billion in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet, nearly $150 million more than a year ago. The company's outstanding share count has fallen by almost 3% over the past year thanks to buybacks, and Pinterest has financial flexibility to take advantage of future opportunities that arise. Concerns going forward Despite the strong forecast going forward, Pinterest's management expressed concern over the effects of tariffs on ad spending. One example CFO Julia Donnelly cited in the company's earnings call is Asia-based e-commerce retailers hit by the end of the de minimis exemption to tariffs. So, while Pinterest stock took an initial plunge immediately after the earnings release, these comments are what triggered the double-digit decline. Is it a buying opportunity? In full disclosure, Pinterest is already one of my largest investments, so I'm not likely to add shares anytime soon. However, if you believe (as I do) that the tariff effects will be more of a short-lived problem than a permanent drag on ad demand, it could be a good time to take a closer look. I've said many times that some of my favorite opportunities to buy shares of my favorite companies are when companies miss earnings by a penny or two and the stock proceeds to fall by double digits. While Pinterest could certainly be volatile, especially as the initial effect of tariffs plays out, the long-term thesis is still very much intact, and management is doing an excellent job. Should you invest $1,000 in Pinterest right now?

Statutory Profit Doesn't Reflect How Good Labcorp Holdings' (NYSE:LH) Earnings Are
Explore Labcorp Holdings's Fair Values from the Community and select yours When companies post strong earnings, the stock generally performs well, just like Labcorp Holdings Inc.'s (NYSE:LH) stock has recently. Our analysis found some more factors that we think are good for shareholders. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit Importantly, our data indicates that Labcorp Holdings' profit was reduced by US$162m, due to unusual items, over the last year. While deductions due to unusual items are disappointing in the first instance, there is a silver lining. We looked at thousands of listed companies and found that unusual items are very often one-off in nature. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Assuming those unusual expenses don't come up again, we'd therefore expect Labcorp Holdings to produce a higher profit next year, all else being equal. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. Our Take On Labcorp Holdings' Profit Performance Because unusual items detracted from Labcorp Holdings' earnings over the last year, you could argue that we can expect an improved result in the current quarter. Because of this, we think Labcorp Holdings' earnings potential is at least as good as it seems, and maybe even better! And on top of that, its earnings per share increased by 72% in the last year. The goal of this article has been to assess how well we can rely on the statutory earnings to reflect the company's potential, but there is plenty more to consider. If you'd like to know more about Labcorp Holdings as a business, it's important to be aware of any risks it's facing. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for Labcorp Holdings you should be aware of. Today we've zoomed in on a single data point to better understand the nature of Labcorp Holdings' profit. But there is always more to discover if you are capable of focussing your mind on minutiae. Some people consider a high return on equity to be a good sign of a quality business.

UPS extends buyout offer deadline after low driver interest
UPS has extended the deadline for van drivers to apply for a buyout package by two weeks, an indication that the program didn't meet its target for eliminating jobs. The integrated parcel carrier initially gave drivers until July 31 to apply for the voluntary separation offer, but the Teamsters union posted on its Facebook page on Friday that 'the package giant quietly extended the deadline for its devious driver voluntary severance plan.' A spokesperson for the union declined to provide details, but an individual at a local Teamsters office on the West Coast said UPS (NYSE: UPS) is giving delivery drivers until Aug. 14 to take the buyout. The person is not authorized to speak with the media and is not being identified to avoid any employer repercussions. UPS CEO Carol Tomé said on the company's July 29 earnings conference call that the buyout offer has generated 'a lot of interest' so far, but the company has not announced how many people have signed up and whether the package is over or undersubscribed. A UPS spokesperson declined to provide any update on the situation. About 85% of UPS drivers are at the top end of the pay scale. Those who have 25 to 40 years of service would be the most likely candidates to accept the buyout package, Nando Cesarone, president of the U.S. region and UPS Airlines, told analysts on the call. UPS is offering $1,800 per year of service, with a minimum payout of $10,000. A driver with 27 years of experience would receive a $48,600 buyout, according to the offer sheet. It's unclear if the delay in achieving the job-reduction target will change the timing of the separation dates. Applicants were told they will be considered for separation dates between Aug. 31 and Oct. 31, depending on the local needs. If the number of applications exceeds eliminated positions, approvals will be granted in order of seniority. Additional applications may be considered for separation dates between Feb. 1 and March 31. The financial package is in addition to earned retirement benefits, including pension and healthcare. The Teamsters union has vehemently opposed UPS's buyout plan as a violation of its 2023 master contract, which obligates UPS to create about 30,000 full-time jobs. Union leaders have urged members to decline the voluntary separation package. The Teamsters argue the separation program violates the union contract because it wasn't negotiated and any program that changes the terms of employment, such as compensation and separation, must be bargained with the union. Seniority order for buyouts also requires union approval. Equally important, is that the union considers the buyout as too low, amounting to about a week's pay per year served. The UPS buyout program, announced July, is connected to a huge network reconfiguration that aims to close 200 domestic package sortation centers over five years, invest in more automation and consolidate volumes in more efficient facilities. The integrated parcel logistics giant earlier this year announced plans to eliminate 20,000 front-line positions to better align the workforce with the smaller footprint and a planned 50% downsizing in business from Amazon, its largest customer.
