Confident Investing Starts Here:

Bryan Smilek has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting Etsy’s performance. The company has shown modest improvement in its Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS), but the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, particularly due to tariffs and fluctuating consumer confidence. While Etsy’s direct exposure to tariffs is minimal, the broader economic conditions could still affect its sales.
Additionally, Etsy is investing in social commerce and other product improvements, which could enhance its medium to long-term growth. However, these investments might weigh on short-term profitability. The company’s revenue growth is expected to remain stable, but macroeconomic headwinds and discretionary spending challenges limit its long-term top-line growth potential. As a result, Bryan Smilek maintains a Neutral stance with a price target of $42, reflecting a cautious outlook on Etsy’s future performance.

Smilek covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Duolingo, Coursera, and Chegg. According to TipRanks, Smilek has an average return of 2.9% and a 53.33% success rate on recommended stocks.
