Pinterest sacks engineers over layoff-tracking script

Pinterest fired two engineers after they wrote custom scripts that improperly accessed confidential information to identify the names and locations of employees who were laid off, then shared it broadly—a breach of company policy and privacy. The layoffs affect about 15% of staff (roughly 700 roles). The incident occurred amid a broader tech-industry wave of cuts, with teams using internal tools like Slack to track who remained at the company.

Pinterest Stock Dips Amid Mixed Revenue Signals and Investor Concerns

Pinterest's fourth-quarter revenue forecast disappointed investors, leading to a 12% drop in its shares, as it failed to match the performance of larger online ad sellers during the holiday season. The company announced a new $2 billion stock buyback program and highlighted its new Performance+ suite, which uses AI tools to enhance ad campaigns. However, adoption of these features has been slow, and there is softness in the food and beverage advertising sector. Despite this, Pinterest's revenue grew 18% in the last quarter, with global monthly active users rising 11%.

Pinterest Shares Drop Amid Disappointing Holiday Revenue Forecast

Pinterest's stock dropped by up to 15% after the company issued weak revenue guidance for the fourth quarter, despite surpassing expectations in its third-quarter earnings. The company reported $898 million in revenue and 40 cents per share in adjusted earnings, both above estimates. However, its fourth-quarter revenue forecast of $1.125 billion to $1.145 billion fell short of analyst expectations. The decline is attributed to ongoing weaknesses in the food and beverage advertising sector. Pinterest also announced a $2 billion share buyback, while its expenses rose due to investments in AI and R&D.

These companies have shown strong financial performance and are expected to benefit from the broadening AI trade.
