Shopify stock has made long-term investors a boatload of money.
If you would have been able to buy shares of the e-commerce subscription platform at its 2015 IPO price, you'd be sitting on gains of nearly 9,000%!
In this short period, the company has risen to become the largest Canadian company by market capitalization with a valuation approaching $200 billion.
Still, the company has its work cut out for it to earn "four-comma status" by 2025.
In the second quarter, Shopify did so by beating analyst expectations on the top line by reporting total revenue growth of 57% and its first $1 billion quarter. However, the numbers are even better than they initially appear when broken down by segment.
Shopify's smaller revenue source is subscription services, the fees it charges sellers, or "merchants," to use its tools. The second is merchant services, which consists of the revenue Shopify earns from those merchants in the form of add-on services like payment processing and transaction fees.
In the year-ago quarter, merchant services grew faster than subscription revenue, which makes sense when you consider the pandemic increased the demand for online shopping. This year's growth was led by subscription services, which was boosted by more merchants beginning to use Shopify's e-commerce platform and existing merchants buying higher-priced subscription bundles.
When we take a look at the technical side of things Shopify looks incredible on the higher timeframes.
Looking at the weekly chart we are currently sitting at long term support and this might be something you might want to keep your eyes on going into next weeks trading sessions.
If price is able to hold these levels we could see Shopify continue it way up.
When we move down to the daily chart for indicators we have;
MACD curling
RSI breaking above 50.
Watchlist this.
