Pinterest Q3 2026 revenue miss as EU de‑minimis rule cuts European growth

Pinterest reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.174 billion, up 12% year‑over‑year but below its own guidance. The shortfall was driven by a sharper‑than‑expected pullback from European cross‑border sellers after the EU removed its de‑minimis exemption, which erased about three points of growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $339 million and global monthly active users reached a record 661 million. The company projected fourth‑quarter revenue of $1.425‑$1.475 billion, a widened range reflecting continued international pressure.

The revenue miss and broader Q4 guidance range suggest near‑term earnings pressure, which could weigh on the stock price (the company notes the impact of the EU rule). Investors will watch whether the company can offset the European drag with growth in other regions and its AI‑driven ad products.
