β€‹β€‹πŸ“Œ How Pinterest Compares to Other Social Networks Pre-IPO

#Pinterest announced the price range for its long-awaited initial public offering (#IPO) on Monday morning. The social media company, slated for a public trading debut next week, plans to sell 75,000,000 shares at a price of $15 to $17. At this price range, Pinterest would be valued between $10 and $11.3 billion, surprisingly lower than the $12.3 billion valuation it had when it last raised capital as a private company in 2017. It would also be less than half the valuation that Snap (#Snapchat's parent company) was given in its much-hyped IPO in 2017, despite the fact that Pinterest has more users and is closer to profitability than Snap was ahead of its public trading debut in March 2017.

As the following chart illustrates, Pinterest generated $756 million in revenue last year, posting a net loss of $63 million. In the year leading up to Snap’s $24 billion IPO, its revenue and net loss amounted to $405 and -$515, respectively. Snap had 158 million daily active users by the time it went public, while Pinterest had 265 million monthly active users at the end of 2018. Pinterest also compares favorably to #Twitter, which went public in November 2013 at a $14 billion valuation with less to show for than Pinterest has now.

πŸ“Š The State of Social Media Marketing
Sprout Social 2019 Index Report

Social marketers have a good idea which #SocialMedia platforms to use in order to connect with their target audience. Aligned with consumer behaviours, 89% of marketers say they use #Facebook as part of their brand’s social strategy.

While Facebook reigns supreme, it’s worth taking a closer look at which social platforms are most popular among certain age groups. Facebook, for example, is the primary platform where members of Generation X Like or follow brands (77%), but for members of Generation Z, #Instagram takes the cake (69%).
