Looking for a replacement for trading Twitter shares?Now that Elon Musk’s buyout of Twitter has been completed, and the company has been taken off the trading market, what comparable stocks can traders look to trade now?
Of course, there are other social media compatriots that traders could turn to, or even other companies of a similar market capitalisation that are in takeover talks and abiding by a similar volatility. A stock that might just fit the bill could be the social media outlier; Pinterest.
Pinterest sometimes likes to position itself as the antithesis of Twitter and Instagram, where users find inspiration rather than encountering toxicity and developing body-image disorders. While I can't speak to the truthfulness of this claim, Pinterest is still categorised as a social media platform and its stock price can be affected by some of the same micro and macroeconomic events that affect this sub-sector. As such, and as illustrated on the chart, Pinterest and Twitter have followed a very similar stock price trajectory. This parallel in stock prices would have been a lot closer if not for Musk’s bid for Twitter at an inflated price in April 2022, and the subsequent court battles that led to him eventually completing the buyout.
Pinterest, like Twitter, may also start fielding takeover bids, hopefully at a chunky premium.
In October 2021, PayPal offered $45 billion for Pinterest, which would have been the costliest acquisition of social media company since Microsoft bough LinkedIn for $26 billion in 2016. The bid would have represented a premium of 24.5% over PINS share price the day before the announcement. However, PayPal reneged its bid shortly after offering it when investor sentiment proved to be against the deal, and PayPal tanked ~12.0% in the three days after revealing an offer had been made.
As of November 2022, the value of Pinterest has slipped to $16.5 billion and may be a more attractive prices for other suitors to come calling, especially if the value that PayPal’s board saw in Pinterest (and that Paypal’s investors overlooked) has been retained. Perhaps suggesting this is true was Pinterest's third-quarter earnings report in the final week of October 2022. Pinterest reported that its third-quarter revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $685 million. Pinterest shares have surged ~11% in the last five trading days.
What make this remarkable is when you compare it to other social media and tech stocks, particularly Facebook which is down ~29%, and Alphabet (which owns YouTube) which is down ~8% since they reported their respective earnings around the same time last week. The latter has even been rumoured to be exploring an acquisition of Pinterest after Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai gave a coy response to a question put to him in September about targets the company was considering for takeover.

PINTEREST Daily TimeframeSNIPER STRATEGY
This magical strategy works like a clock on almost any charts
Although I have to say it can’t predict pullbacks, so I do not suggest this strategy for leverage trading.
It will not give you the whole wave like any other strategy out there but it will give you huge part of the wave.
The best timeframe for this strategy is Daily, Weekly and Monthly however it can work any timeframe above three minutes.
Start believing in this strategy because it will reward believers with huge profit.
There is a lot more about this strategy.
It can predict and also it can give you almost exact buy or sell time on the spot.
I am developing it even more so stay tuned and start to follow me for more signals and forecasts.
$PINSPinterest tracks monthly active users, or MAUs. If you open the app, go to the website, or even save a pin through a browser extension during a calendar month, then you're a MAU. This stands in contrast to other platforms like Snap's Snapchat that track daily active users, or DAUs. Obviously, it's easier to get a MAU than a DAU.
As a whole, Pinterest's user base increased in Q2. Globally, MAUs increased 9% year over year to 454 million. This was due to a 13% increase in international users -- the larger user base. However, MAUs in the U.S. decreased 5% from the same quarter last year.
It might seem like this doesn't matter. After all, the larger user base -- international -- grew. However, Pinterest makes a lot more money from U.S. users than international users. Average revenue per user, or ARPU, in the U.S. was $5.08 compared to just $0.36 per international users.
Therefore, Pinterest is losing its most valuable users. That's why the stock unsurprisingly fell.
On the technical side of things.. Pinterest has finally found support on the daily chart after a long battle since earnings.
This Ccould possibly be a good time to look at this.
I’m bullish.
First target - $60
Second target - Gap fill.
Keep this on your watchlist.
- Factor Four
PINS at Pivot PointCan play PINS both sides here depending on its reaction to the currently tested trendline (ascending dashed green line)
Price predictions are based off of supply and demand zones as well as Fib extensions.
Price movement (Blue and Red lines with arrows) isn't a a firm prediction but more of an indication of what important levels may be tested on both down and up-side.
Pintrest - Blowing up ! but what goes up must come downNYSE:PINS Rule of nature - what goes up must come down. combine that with rule of velocity - faster you go the harder the crash!
Pinterest has exploded in less than 3 MONTHS (157 days) to an above 60$ price.
if we set the chart on a weekly time frame all we see is one big green candle, but correction is a must.
so let’s start with FUNDAMENTAL:
- with earnings of about 450 mil in Q4 and main emphasis on number of followers that grew to 442 million the stock skyrocketed to almost 70$, just before it fell back to the 60 line.
the earnings from advertisement in social media sector with these number of followers is expected to be higher, but because Pinterest is not Facebook and haven’t played in the big leagues long enough, these numbers caught investors eyes.
TECHNICAL SIDE:
stock is on a 25% angle from the moment it crossed the 20$ mark with consist supporting volume .
the convergence in the 50 line shows stability and i would be ok with saying that 50$ is the stock price.
Stochastic is overbought even after the correction from 70 to 59, and as it seems at the moment the stock is due to stay in the 50$ range.
Bottom line - I wouldn’t put a lot of hope in this stock crossing 70 so fast but I do see a great future to this company so in the long term it’s a definite buy, on the short i would say hold.
We analyze the market according to the MCBA method (market cycle based analysis) that we developed on combination between Elliot wave theory along with Volume cycle reading
the above is our personal opinion and never a trading advice or recommendation
Trade safe!
Pinterest longHere is an easy ta for Pinterest long:
Pinterest is since March 18 in Corono Up-Trend. S1 shows a healthy way to life coming up and breaking through resistance at 24 $ mark.
At 29 June buyers took control as you can see by hammer candlestick followed by rising volume.
Next resistance is around 26 $ mark but I guess with that amount of volume should be no problem.
Indicators:
BB= Close to upper band, oversold, no signal
200 day SMA= moves above, buying signal
50 day SMA= moves above, buying signal
MACD= Crossing, tendency up (up-trend), buying signal
RSI 14= Crossing at 50, buying signal
Volume= Is rising, buying signal
Candlesticks:
Hammer=Confirmed up-trend after that
For maximal risk/reward ratio I would recommand you an option play:
1. Buy Call 28 Sept
or/and
2. Sell Put 20 Sept
So going long covered or naked.
Good luck for your trading :)
Pinterest is worth your interestPinterest #PINS is a fast-growing company with favorable demographics, the stock has dropped in price while outperforming expectations.
Pinterest (PINS) debuted on the public markets less than a year ago at a price of $23.75. Since that time, Pinterest has dropped in price by a great percentage and do not thing for a moment that the coronavirus is to blame 🙂
The interesting part is that Pinterest has actually been profitable and has beaten earnings estimates in the last quarters. So why is it that Pinterest is dropping strongly, why? Because fundamentals are not that important when trading a supply and demand strategy.
I’ve happened to read that some analysts are claiming that Pinterest #PINS is a buy for anyone with at least a two-year time horizon. Well, it may be that Pinterest stock will be revalued in two years time, but why buying Pinterest now and lock in part of your capital in a stock that is dropping like a rock reacting to super strong weekly supply zones?
It makes no sense how some analysts and web sites are recommending buying Pinterest stock to hold it for two years when the stock is in a clear downtrend.
Take a look at Pinterest #PINS supply and demand weekly timeframe analysis. There is a strong weekly supply around $25 per share, these supply zones act like magnets to price, a price level where there are a lot of interest by professional investors.
PINS long setup - 1:9 risk to rewardThis is crazy but I want to try this. My winning probability is lower than 15%. I am going to risk no more than 0.25% of my account in this trade. No gambling. Maybe i should buy some OTM calls.
PINS LONG SETUP:
Entry: $19.53
Stop-loss: $18.04 ($1.49 per lot)
Take-profit: $32.95 ($13.42 per lot)
Risk: 0.25%
Risk to reward: 1:9
Probability: Less than 15%
