Pinterest upgraded at Wells Fargo

Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) shares gained more than 3% pre-market today after Wells Fargo upgraded the company to Overweight from Equal Weight and raised its price target to $34.00 from $23.00.

According to the firm, Pinterest’s strategy to outsource monetization to third parties, including an announced partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), aims to address its attribution and scale issues.

Wells says this will enable the company to concentrate on enhancing user engagement and experience. It added that early signs of improved engagement and ad load, combined with outsourced monetization, should significantly improve the company’s revenue and margin outlook.
