Curtis Nagle has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to Etsy’s financial strategies and market performance. The company has announced the pricing of its 2030 convertible notes, which provides an attractive refinancing opportunity with a low interest rate of 1%. This move allows Etsy to extend its debt maturities without significant equity dilution, which is a positive step in managing its financial obligations.
However, there are concerns regarding the use of $150 million for share buybacks, especially given the recent rise in Etsy’s stock valuation. Additionally, while there is optimism about improvements in Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS) and potential growth in the near term, uncertainties remain, particularly with external factors like tariffs affecting large bidders in the ad market. These mixed signals contribute to the decision to maintain a Neutral rating with a price objective of $67.
In another report released on June 5, Bernstein also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $45.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 81 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of ETSY in relation to earlier this year.
