Elliott has built a stake of more than 9%, making it the company’s biggest investor, the Wall Street Journal reported

Pinterest shares jumped more than 15% in premarket trading after the Wall Street Journal reported that activist investor Elliott Management has acquired a stake in the struggling social-media company.

The news follows a shake-up at Pinterest last month, when co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann handed the reins to Google and PayPal veteran Bill Ready. The San Francisco-based company, which lets users create virtual scrapbooks, has been trying to expand further into e-commerce. Pinterest had enjoyed a surge in growth during the early days of Covid-19, when locked-down consumers turned to the service. But like other pandemic darlings such as Peloton Technology , Pinterest suffered a slowdown in recent months. Its shares are down in a steeper drop than broader technology indexes.
