Key takeaways
- Pinterest's forward P/E sits far below Snap's, but their very different profit profiles and risk exposures could tip the 2027 decision.
- Note that stock-based compensation (SBC) represented 68.6% of operating cash flow, which inflates reported cash generation since SBC is a non-cash expense added back in the cash flow statement.
- Snap also relies substantially on advertising, which accounted for approximately 87% of its total revenue in 2025.
Pinterest has transformed into a high-intent visual search and shopping destination with more than 600 million monthly active users. Snap continues to lead in augmented reality innovation and private communication while focusing on growing its advertiser base.
