Airline stocks jump amid broader market rebound

Airline shares are taking off as tariff fears ease a bit.

United Airlines, which recently announced it would hike fees for its rewards credit card, was up the most, climbing more than 5%. Several of its peers — including Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, and American Airlines — all rose more than 2%. Southwest Airlines was flat.

Airline stocks have taken a beating this year amid concerns of economic uncertainty and a weakening consumer. Tariffs, which have spooked markets over the past couple months, are set to take effect on April 2, though investors seem to have found some comfort in a Wall Street Journal article published Monday morning reporting that they’ll be narrower than previously expected.

Pinterest sinks after weak revenue guidance and Q3 adjusted EPS misses estimates by 10%

Pinterest plunged nearly 18% in pre-market trading on Wednesday, after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings and a weak holiday-quarter forecast after the bell on Tuesday.

The social media platform posted adjusted EPS of 38 cents, below Wall Street's 42-cent estimates, while revenue matched analysts' expectations at $1.05 billion, up 17% from a year earlier.

The fly in the earnings ointment appears to be the guidance, however, with Pinterest only expecting Q4 sales of $1.31 billion to $1.34 billion, with the midpoint trailing analysts' $1.34 billion forecast.

Global monthly active users came in at an all-time high of 600 million, beating expectations, but average revenue per user came in at $1.78, slightly shy of projections. During the earnings call, CFO Julia Donnelly said the company saw "pockets of moderating ad spend" in the third quarter, as "larger US retailers navigate tariff-related margin pressure."

The company's soft results come as its peers, including Meta, Amazon, and Alphabet, recently reported strong digital ad sales.

CEO Bill Ready said Pinterest’s AI push is “paying off,” highlighting last week's launch of its AI-powered shopping assistant, Pinterest Assistant. Still, growth in its core North American market — which generates roughly three quarters of its revenue — remains a drag heading into the holiday season.
