Trading Insights

Despite a recent sell-off, Shopify's trading volume and recent price movements suggest potential gains. The stock has risen consistently over the past ten days, increasing by 12.16% in the last two weeks. Analysts recommend monitoring support levels around $62.73 and resistance at $70.55 to capitalize on the stock's movements within these ranges.

Shopify's P/E ratio is high, but its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 11 is near historic lows, suggesting it may be undervalued relative to its past performance. Analysts predict 21% revenue growth in 2024, indicating potential for renewed revenue growth despite recent slowdowns. The company's revenue in the first quarter rose 23% year-over-year to $1.9 billion, driven by a 34% increase in subscription revenue.

Shopify has consistently outperformed analyst expectations in the last eight quarters. Despite a net loss of $281 million due to a $342 million charge from the sale of its logistics business, the overall market outlook remains positive. With a forecasted revenue growth rate in the second quarter's high teens, Shopify continues to attract investor interest.
