Shopify Inc. has garnered mixed reviews from experts regarding its performance and valuation. While many acknowledge its strong business model and potential for growth, especially with the integration of AI into its services, concerns about its inflated valuation persist. The stock showcases impressive revenue growth, with recent quarterly earnings reporting a substantial increase, yet the high price-to-earnings ratio raises apprehensions among analysts about potential market corrections. Experts emphasize the company's unique position in the e-commerce ecosystem and its resilience despite economic challenges; however, they caution that the prevailing high valuation leaves limited room for errors. Overall, while Shopify is viewed as a significant player in the tech and e-commerce space, the investment sentiment is tempered due to its high price relative to earnings and growth expectations.

DON'T BUY

Thinks company shares are too expensive to own. Recent share price selloff is not enough to make shares attractive. Waiting for share prices to fall before buying. Too risky to own.

DON'T BUY

You never know the bottom on these high-multiple stocks. He's a value investor, so it doesn't interest him. As interest rates rise, the PEs on these tech stocks compress. If you buy this, expect extreme volatility. Down the road it is a profitable business.

COMMENT

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Saw an unusual spike at close on Friday. However, gains were quickly reversed today. Without taking into account the spike, the stock is down $20. It has shown no issues with scale. It can continue to grow but the stock needs a valuation expansion to really do well.

DON'T BUY

Difficult to determine predictability of business model (company hasn't been around long enough). Not sure what fair value estimate of business is. Company hasn't shown ability to generate cash flow.

BUY

It boasted 70-80% revenue growth in recent years, and he expects a very high 30% rate in coming years. A great company with a huge future. You can buy it here and hold for a long time. Doesn't know when the bottom is, but you can buy now.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Covid winners have become the Covid losers. Not quite profitable. If you think it will sell more stuff and add more services in 3-5 years, now's the time to buy. He's not negative on it. Narrative is being driven by the price.

DON'T BUY

Phenomenal product for end users, with unique capabilities. Spectacular revenue growth, but will moderate this year. Fundamentals aren't strong for earnings and cashflow. May make sense to average down, but be mindful that it will be volatile. Business is still evolving. In this challenging economic environment, he'd prefer something with a more durable moat.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. Can be difficult to execute the perfect timing for a purchase. Momentum is currently negative. The stock might continue to be weak for some time as portfolio managers adjust weightings and new buyers wait. $900 is considered an attractive price. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

BUY

Question is how much will investors pay for higher market multiples. Concern is that it gets tossed around by the market. However it is a great core holding and he has been adding a little at these levels. Recommends if buying, do so with money you don't need and in non-registered accounts.

DON'T BUY

Fantastic business and it's proven itself. Great company, but expensive based on size of its business. It might be fantastic 5 years from now, but you're guessing what the future is. The liquidity problem is not going away, and he's staying away from high valuation businesses. He wants companies where the pricing is going up as well as the margins.

BUY

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The volatility will improve in the long-run. It continues to show robust growth. It trades at premium, but it is probably merited. Probably safer at these levels. Has a strong ecosystem with a dominant market position and competitive moat. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

TOP PICK

It once rivalled Royal Bank as the largest Canadian market cap stock on the TSX, but (as of Feb. 2) SHOP-T has tanked nearly 36%. A week earlier, that figure was closer to 50%. What happened? Back during the dark days of the pandemic, Shopify was the stock to buy as it offered an online platform for countless retailers to sell on the internet. We all know how e-commerce thrived in the last 24 months. The problem is that this perception of Shopify as a Covid stock now haunts the company. Peloton and Zoom are in this class. Arguably, all three stocks have been punished too much, since they each provide a valuable service that many people use—and will use in the future.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Billy Kawasaki’s Insights - Billy’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. The stock was downgraded recently, but this is not new news. The company is also brining fulfilment in-house, which may raise costs in the short term. It is probably the right move long term to serve customers better. Unlock Premium - Try 5i Free

DON'T BUY

As a value investor, he doesn't follow this. Fairly high multiples and high-growth projections. Not on his radar.

DON'T BUY

Until recently, it had the highest market cap on the TSX. It's fallen 50% from its peak. He and his colleagues talk about this a lot, about if and where to enter it. Great platform, but the stock got vastly overvalued. A reasonable value is US$600-700. In 2021, a lot of companies got way ahead of themselves in terms of revenues, including SHOP. A great company, but not necessarily a great stock.
