I sold $PINS this week.

I am aware that I may realize I was wrong over time but after thinking hard about it, I made the decision and I want to be transparent about it.

Here is why I made this decision ⬇️

$PINS did not have a great report last quarter.

Financial numbers where good (growth, margins, ARPU) but I did not like management talking about "web users" and "mobile users" to justify the user slow down.

However, I did see some truth in it, so I decided to hold and wait

During the quarter, it became clear that $PINS had decided to make a shift in the business they had built all this years to have an e-commerce experience and presence.

These type of transitions are always hard and require laser focus by management to execute correctly

This earnings season the market is adjusting post covid. Seems like we are back to a stock pickers market. One of the important variables to look for is multiple expansion.

The following graph is a comparison of this metric for some companies pre and post pandemic.

To calculate the multiple expansion of each company, I compared the average multiple of every quarter from 2018-2019 vs today, using the following metrics:
- EV/GP
- EV/EBITDA
- EV/FCF

This has some limitations as multiples in 2018-2019 may be considered high or low.

But I wanted to get an estimate of how the pandemic and its consequences have affected valuations.

I used only positive metrics, so if FCF or EBITDA multiples were negative, I excluded those from the average. Gross profit was always used.
