What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1Pinterest depends on advertisers continuing to buy campaigns and on users continuing to visit, search, save, and engage with content.
2Amazon Web Services supplies most of Pinterest’s computing, storage, and data-transfer services. Pinterest has committed to buy at least $4,000.0 million of cloud services through May 2031 (contract term ending May 2031, high).
3Pinterest depends on mobile operating systems, web browsers, app stores, and third-party services that it does not control to make its service available and help users access it.

What could go wrong

1Pinterest generates substantially all its revenue from advertising, so reduced advertiser spending or difficulty attracting advertisers could lower revenue.
2If Pinterest cannot keep its ideas and recommendations useful and relevant, or users visit and engage less, it could lose users and advertisers.
3Privacy and data-use laws, or changes to tracking and advertising measurement, could limit Pinterest’s ability to target ads and show advertisers their results.
