Pinterest, Inc. (NYSE:PINS) is one of the 10 Best Internet Content and Information Stocks to Buy.
Pinterest holds its unique position from being a social discovery platform to offering a high-intent AI-driven visual shopping engine. The company reached an all-time high monthly active users in Q4 2025, with 619 million users globally. This was a 12% growth from a year ago, driven by AI product discovery as its core growth catalyst. Pinterest is now portraying itself as a visual search engine with a commercial focus, while improving shopping behavior and simultaneously working on increasing monetization.

However, analysts have slight concerns over the market competitiveness. On April 7, Wells Fargo’s Alec Brondolo cut Pinterest’s price target from $27 to $25, while keeping an Overweight rating. The $25 price target implies an upside of over 38% as of April 13, which is higher than the median upside of just over 16.50%. Even though the analyst expects mixed first-quarter results, with a positive engagement outlook as engagement will continue to accelerate, Brondolo sees market giants such as Meta and Google Search progressing in Ads. This could create a tough environment for smaller platforms as macro remains uncertain.
Another key point to ponder while thinking of Pinterest as an investment option is its shifting valuation. The stock has plunged over 30% year-to-date. In addition, the recent $1 billion strategic investment from Elliot Investment Management in Pinterest could lift the valuation. The company will use the proceeds to fund a $1 billion accelerated share repurchase, with Pinterest’s board approving a new $3.5 billion share buyback program to replace the current program. The attractive valuation is a strong consideration for Pinterest’s place among our best internet content and information stocks.
