Pinterest has delivered a robust performance in 2023, driven by strong earnings reports and a stabilizing advertising market.&nbsp;</p> 
<h3 id="rbc-capital-bullish-on-pinterest-citing-seismic-long-term-platform-changes">RBC Capital Bullish on Pinterest, Citing Seismic Long-Term Platform Changes</h3> 
<p>Shares of Pinterest rose around 3.3% in premarket trading Monday after RBC Capital analyst Brad Erickson upgraded the stock from Sector Perform to Outperform. Also, the strategist raised the price target on PINS from $32 to $46, implying a potential upside of more than 30% from its current price.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>The move comes amid strong investor interest for non-megacap stocks in 2024, and Pinterest “stands out as a way to play the shift of intent-based ad platforms chasing impulse shopping’s $241B ad spend,” RBC Capital analysts wrote in the note.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>“Liked by the sell-side but under-owned by the buy-side, we believe PINS is an attractive story underpinned by checks indicating key product cycles starting to work, positive ad load analysis, attractive comps, and is a less consensus/partially hedged way to play AMZN”.&nbsp;</p> <cite>– RBC Capital analysts said in their note. </cite>
</blockquote> 
<p>On the flipside, Erickson said that monthly active user (MAU) growth and the rate of ad spending changes represent the two most significant risks to RBC’s bull case. Despite those concerns, the investment firm added it wants to own the potentially game-changing long-term platform changes Pinterest’s management is making.&nbsp;</p>
