How the markets moved today

The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.05%) finished nearly flat at 6,836, up 0.05%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC 0.22%) slipped 0.22% to 22,547.

What this means for investors

Pinterest reported mixed quarterly results that missed revenue and earnings estimates and issued a weaker revenue outlook, pressuring shares as management said retail advertisers cut budgets due to tariffs.

The company reported a 12% year-over-year increase in global monthly active users for the fourth quarter, reaching an all-time high of 619 million. That surpassed Wall Street’s expectation of 613 million. But Pinterest projected first-quarter sales to range from $951 million to $971 million, falling short of analysts’ estimates of $980 million.

Multiple Wall Street firms downgraded the stock or reduced their target prices after the report. Concerns include decelerating growth, challenges in monetization, retailer withdrawals, and intensified competition due to AI advancements.
