Pinterest CEO Highlights AI Shopping Push Amid Record Growth

Pinterest’s Bill Ready emphasized the platform’s transformation into a leading AI-driven shopping assistant during a September 9, 2026, presentation at Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia + Technology Conference. The company, which reported a 12-month revenue of $4.56 billion with a 79% gross profit margin, underscored its shift toward lower-funnel advertising—now generating over two-thirds of its $4.56 billion in annual revenue—while maintaining robust growth in user engagement and commercial intent searches. With 640 million monthly active users, over 85% of whom access the platform via mobile, Pinterest’s user base remains heavily international, with 80% outside the U.S., though revenue from international markets accounts for just 20% of total monetization.
