Pinterest Before Q3: Company First. Price Last. (Moat, Bottleneck, Stance)

Pinterest (PINS) deep dive before Q3 2025. Company first, price last. I break down how $1 becomes owner cash, the real moat + its durability, the primary scaling bottleneck, the behavioural trap around this stock, and my OWN / WATCH / AVOID stance, looking at price last as a comparison to the market’s mood.

What you’ll learn

- Whether the moat holds in the real world
- The single constraint that decides the next two years
- My stance before earnings and what would flip it (Kill Switch / Risk-On)

My process
Company first. Price last. I classify on business quality, not vibes: understand the engine → test moat → name the bottleneck → set kill switch → only then discuss price.
