With $2.48 billion in cash and short term investments, PINS holds a very healthy cash-to-debt ratio of 9.89x.
Opportunity for Growth: Pinterest shows potential if it can continue its trend of tapping into the greater potential of global market share,
76.50% of its $847 million revenue in the last quarter was attributed to the U.S. market and the rest to its international market.
