#5 - Pinterest (NYSE:PINS)
The next social media stock on our list is Pinterest (NYSE:PINS). This may surprise some investors since PINS stock is down 22% in 2021. I’m not sure I understand why. The consensus opinion of analysts is that Pinterest stock has a 44% upside over the next 12 months. And as I look at the stock chart since October began, it looks like the rally may be underway.
When looking at Snap, I pointed out how I liked SNAP stock because of the attention Snap gets from the younger generation. I feel the same way about Pinterest. If I ask my daughters for a suggestion about anything, my phone explodes with links from their Pinterest account. While this isn’t a true fundamental analysis, it tells me that the platform has high engagement. And when you factor in that Pinterest has registered a profit in each of the last four quarters, there are many reasons to like the stock.
