What happened
Shopify (SHOP) stock fell 8.7% to $142.57 on Tuesday after Q3 revenue and total order value missed Wall Street estimates, even though adjusted earnings of $0.49 per share beat forecasts. Shopify sells software that lets businesses run online stores. Its sales were $3.74 billion, about $10 million below the $3.75 billion analysts expected. The total value of goods sold on its platform (gross merchandise volume) was $119.1 billion, short of the $120 billion forecast. Sales still grew 32% from a year earlier.
Why it matters
Shopify provides the software behind many online stores, so its results are watched as a health check on online shopping. The stock was already priced for strong results, so small misses on sales and subscription income ($836 million versus $850 million expected) led to a sharp sell-off. The company still expects sales growth in the low-thirties percent range next quarter, so the business is not shrinking.
