Shopify Stock Slides After $100 Billion GMV Quarter — Why Investors Still Wanted More
Shopify’s U.S. shares slipped in early trading Tuesday. The Canadian commerce software firm issued a second-quarter forecast mostly in line with Wall Street’s expectations, muting the effect of a first-quarter milestone as merchant sales on its platform topped $100 billion. This move reflects not just the results but what people were bracing for. Going in, investors wanted to see revenue up by low-30%, payments getting more traction, and clear signs Shopify’s AI tools could boost its edge—without squeezing margins. Simply Wall St flagged the “biggest immediate risk” on Monday: a steep valuation that didn’t leave much slack for any letdown.
