Pinterest's New CFO Brings Performance-Ads Expertise Suited to Strategy Shift, Wedbush Says
MT newswire2026/10/06 18:5102:51 PM EDT, 10/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Pinterest's (PINS) appointment of James Dibbo as chief financial officer fits the company's push to become a bottom-funnel, performance-driven ad platform, Wedbush said in a note Tuesday. The brokerage said Dibbo's experience scaling Amazon Ads, one of the largest retail media and performance advertising businesses, lines up with Pinterest's priorities, including automation, better bidding and measurement, and steady spend from large retailers. His familiarity with large retail advertisers should also help as Pinterest looks to extend its go-to-market approach to other regions, Wedbush said. Wedbush called the external hire constructive but said it doesn't expect the change to affect Q3 results or near-term guidance. The firm said it will listen for Dibbo's early priorities on the Q4 call, particularly on capital allocation, operating expense and stock-based compensation discipline, and long-term margin targets. Wedbush maintained its neutral rating on the stock with a $24 price target. Price: 19.83, Change: -0.23, Percent Change: -1.17

Strategic oil reserves near record lows and still to be tapped! The United States plans to provide up to 17 million barrels of crude oil.
Data released this week show that the size of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is only about 13 million barrels less than its original scale when the reserve system was established. The US Department of Energy's recent call for companies to participate in crude oil exchange programs is part of the action following the March agreement among IEA member countries to release a total of 400 million barrels from their reserves this year. At that time, the US pledged to release 172 million barrels from its strategic reserves, but there has been limited participation from companies in the exchanges since then. Analysts believe that recent supply disruptions caused by hurricanes and other factors may prompt the US government to make further use of its reserves.
