Further contributing to the positive sentiment, Pinterest announced a new partnership with Instacart in June. This collaboration aims to enhance shoppability and ad targeting on Pinterest.
Through this deal, selected advertisers gain access to Instacart’s valuable first-party retail data, allowing them to precisely target high-intent users on Pinterest.
A subsequent phase of the partnership will introduce closed-loop measurement, enabling advertisers to directly link ad exposure on Pinterest with actual product sales on Instacart, providing clear insights into campaign effectiveness.
This collaboration also integrates Pinterest ads directly with Instacart, empowering users to complete purchases of items like recipe ingredients or personal care products within a few clicks, bridging the gap between inspiration and immediate action.
On the technical front, Pinterest has traded between a 52-week low of $23.68 and a high of $42.02. After sliding nearly 39% from its peak to early April lows, the stock rebounded more than 60% and is now up 32% year to date.
It trades about 12.6% above its 50-day moving average and 19% above its 200-day moving average, reflecting strong short and long-term momentum.
