Pinterest is a new (PINS) stock/options position, with the potential to follow through in the coming days. Price action pulled back to the 21d moving average after reporting a 33% earnings beat on February 6, 2020. Earnings are increasing.
Pinterest makes money by targeting advertising at more than 265 million monthly users (as of August 2019) who bookmark images they find online by “pinning” them to themed “boards.” PINS targets these users, selling “promoted pins” and click-to-buy shopping ads to businesses and hundreds of retail partners. Institutions are adding positions.
Looking at Pinterest’s recent growth, we can estimate a range for key metrics in 2024. Over the past three years, it has grown its user base between 45 million and 65 million a year. A best-case scenario might assume that growth improves to 65 million, giving the company 625 million users in 2024. On the other hand, growth could slow to just 30 million a year, bringing the total to 450 million. Splitting that difference gives Pinterest approximately 540 million monthly active users. – article from Motley Fool
This potential candidate follows a simple strategy; buy the dips to the bullish 21d moving average once we see evidence of buyers returning in the days that follow, then trail a stop below the price.
