Helena Wang’s rating is based on Shopify’s consistent revenue growth and strategic positioning. Despite macroeconomic challenges, Shopify has demonstrated resilience with a 27% year-over-year increase in revenue, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of growth exceeding 25%. This growth is driven by both subscription and merchant solutions, with significant contributions from Gross Merchandise Volume and the successful penetration of high-volume brands.
Shopify’s cost management further supports the Buy rating. Although gross margins faced temporary pressures due to increased cloud and infrastructure costs, operating margins improved by 4% year-over-year. This improvement is attributed to effective cost discipline, particularly in managing headcount and operating expenses, which have decreased as a percentage of revenue. These factors, combined with Shopify’s ability to adapt to market conditions and expand its market share, underpin Helena Wang’s positive outlook on the company’s long-term growth potential.
In another report released on May 13, Loop Capital Markets also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $120.00 price target.
SHOP’s price has also changed slightly for the past six months – from $108.490 to $110.210, which is a 1.59% increase.
