Pinterest expects Q3 revenue of $1.19B-$1.21B as it raises 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin view to ~30%
Pinterest has provided a third-quarter revenue outlook of $1.19 billion to $1.21 billion and has raised its adjusted EBITDA margin forecast for 2026 to approximately 30%.
We considered entering based on the clear fundamental improvement news of upward earnings forecasts and the recent 7-day volatility of +10.4%, indicating increased upward momentum. On August 20, 2026, the stock opened at 23.26, reached a high of 23.5, a low of 22.8, and closed at 22.81, with a trading volume that was 1.27 times the 20-day average.
If the target price of $24.63 is reached, I will take profits, and if it falls below the stop-loss price of $21.55, I will cut losses. These take profit/stop-loss prices are derived from the REPORTING calculations.
At the entry point, the technical indicators are as follows: RSI(14) at 62.4, moving averages are not aligned, trading volume is 1.27 times the 20-day average, and the recent 7-day volatility is +10.4%. An RSI of 62.4 indicates that the upward momentum is still present before entering the overbought zone.
Past similar success cases include VEEE on 2026-07-16 (return 451.7%), LRCX on 2026-07-06 (return 346.8%), and AMD (return 333.8%), but all are reference cases for top performance globally without direct similarities.
Despite the clear fundamental improvement news of an upward revision in third-quarter revenue outlook and an increase in EBITDA margin targets, the actual results led to a drop beyond the predicted -1.5% to a -10.2% stop-loss breach. At the time of entry, the RSI was 62.4, and there was a recent 7-day increase of +10.4% in volatility, along with a trading volume 1.27 times the 20-day average, which led to the judgment that upward momentum would continue. However, the moving averages were in a non-aligned state, and the price action of the day saw a decline from a high of 23.5 to a low of 22.8, failing to fully defend against the prevailing selling pressure.
Even with positive news and an increase in trading volume, we have confirmed that chasing purchases in a non-aligned moving average state may be vulnerable to downside volatility. In future trading, we will more conservatively verify the alignment of technical indicators and the pullback period following a short-term surge, and we will thoroughly maintain our response according to principles in the event of a stop-loss breach.
