Pinterest Stock Takes on Gen Z: Is PINS the Next AI-Powered Shopping Juggernaut?

Is Pinterest Stock the Next Big Social Media Surge? Why Wall Street Is Buzzing on AI Shopping and Gen Z Growth

Stock Price & Market Performance Pinterest stock has traded in a wide range this year. After climbing into the high-$30s in late summer (around its 52‑week high of ~$40.90 ts2.tech), PINS pulled back in October. From Oct. 6–10 it slid from ~$32.05 to $30.40 ts2.tech, roughly tracking the Nasdaq’s sell-off. On Oct. 10 the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell nearly 3.5% ts2.tech, and PINS was not spared (–4.6% that day ts2.tech). Trade-war fears intensified when President Trump on Oct. 10 warned of “massive” new tariffs on China; tech and retail stocks tumbled, including Pinterest (which fell ~4.1% in one afternoon session) tradingview.com.

Want a Piece of TikTok? How to Invest in ByteDance in 2025 and What’s Next

How Can You Invest in ByteDance in 2025? ByteDance is not publicly traded. Unlike Meta or Alphabet, you cannot buy ByteDance stock on any exchange as of 2025.

Since then, ByteDance’s management has refrained from any new IPO push stockanalysis.com, especially amid geopolitical scrutiny. For everyday investors, this means there is no direct ticker symbol for ByteDance or TikTok, and no straightforward way to “buy TikTok stock” in a

Snapchat Memories Paywall: Why the App’s New Storage Fees Might Change How You Use Social Media

The Story Behind Snapchat’s New Storage Fees When Snapchat introduced its Memories feature in 2016, it promised to let users save their photos and videos safely in the cloud, separate from their camera roll. For nearly a decade the feature has served as a digital time capsule—allowing users to relive birthdays, graduations and everyday moments by pulling up Snaps from years past. The sheer volume of content is staggering: Snapchatters have stored more than one trillion memories on the platform newsroom.snap.com. This growth has outpaced the company’s expectations and, according to Snap, is straining its infrastructure. On 26 September 2025, Snap quietly
