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.

TOP PICK

Q2 was so strong. New investments are paying off and exceeding their own expectations. They are capturing more the economics of e-commerce. He sees 100% EPS growth in 2018-2020 and 83% revenue growth. Yes, it's very pricey now at 289x PE, but they are reinvesting in their business. (Analysts’ price target is $463.68)

PARTIAL SELL

He'd be taking some money out at this point. Stock's trading way above FMV. Risks in market meltdown are getting high, and a stock like this will get crucified. At least get your costs out.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A great company for the future. His model price is $30. You are buying in the opportunity to share in growth -- there is no fundamental reason to own this today however. You are paying top dollar for the future growth. He could see a 40% pull back and would consider it then.

BUY

Likes it. Showing momentum. Numerous drivers to sustain long term growth. Raised guidance on Q1. Bad news is it's trading at 260x 2021 earnings. Expect huge air pockets if they ever start missing. Is there anyone out there who can eat their lunch? Thinks it can double.

DON'T BUY

It's extremely up and that is worrisome-parabolic and overbought. Whenever a stock is 10% above its 200-day moving average then it could correct. If it pulls back 10-15% of its 200-day, then he'd look at it.

SHORT

Too late to buy it? He is short this and it's calling him. It's a great company with an amazing 30x revenue. This is the next biggest-coming company--but they have to deliver on it. He's been dead wrong on this. However, low interest rates are chasing high-risk companies like this. This is way too expensive. He's seen this movie before.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It's gone up so much that it's natural to have a pullback now, down $10 today. He can't see a specific reason, likely profit-taking. It is expensive. He wouldn't buy it now. SHOP needs to pullback to $350 before he steps in.

COMMENT

A pullback? Would only pullback if the whole market does, and only to $350.

PARTIAL SELL

Could someone like Amazon take it over? Take some money off the table if you've held this for a while. He sold some shares a year ago, but continues to blaze higher. But its valuation is in nosebleed territory. He doubts that the lead shareholder will allow SHOP to be sold. Amazon is a candidate, possibly, but he doesn't feel it will happen.

DON'T BUY

Not wrong if it reminds you of the .com era of 1999. FMV is 5% of the current price. Tremendous amount of momentum, but follow through hasn't been there. If there's a downturn, stocks like this will have a huge decline.

SELL

He wants to own nothing to takes on Amazon. But their chart is spectacular though. He'd sell this now, if they are going against Amazon. Stay in your weight class. If they do, he'd hold onto this.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 18/18, Up 74%) He would stay with it. Online retailing will continue to grow. AMZN-Q is pushing some of the smaller and medium sized resellers off their platform and SHOP-T is stepping up. It is a growing pie and they have continued to deliver.

HOLD

If you're a young investor, this is the place to be. Two downgrades, and so the stock has corrected. Today is not the time to enter a new position. Don't sell it now. Second best performer on the TSX.

DON'T BUY

It's had an enormous run to levels he didn't imagine. Companies that have a good growth trajectory and story garner a huge multiple because there are so few of these stories in Canada. He wouldn't buy it now. By comparison, Amazon looks reasonable at 40-50x PE vs. Shopify which is in the 200s or 300s or higher.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 15/19, Up 16%) He sees it continuing to press higher. He would continue to hold it as it is consolidating before an expected further push higher.
