This summary was created by AI, based on 67 opinions in the last 12 months.

Shopify Inc. is perceived as a high-quality company in the e-commerce sector with strong growth potential, particularly in leveraging AI technologies. Experts highlight its recent performance, including substantial revenue growth and a competent positioning within the market. However, the company faces challenges related to its valuation, which is considered high by many analysts, with a forward PE ratio often cited around 60x and high volatility in its stock price. While there is optimism around future growth and expanding into international markets, concerns regarding AI threats and its servicing of small to medium businesses—often regarded as more volatile—cast a shadow on its overall investment appeal. Despite these challenges, many see Shopify's innovative capabilities as a key component of its long-term success, further complicated by the general market's sentiment towards tech stocks.

DON'T BUY

The stock has done very well, but it's extremely rich--a risky valuation. There are cheaper, less risky tech stocks out there. Possibly, Amazon or somebody can just copy what they're doing. Also, he's worried that a lot of money is being invested here merely because it's the lone Canadian tech stock (not counting Blackberry).

DON'T BUY

One of the best growth stocks in Canada in the last year. This is a momentum investment. He is a value investor so it does not fit him. The 12 month target is $180.00 and we are at $190, so not a lot of optimism. A lot of this year’s news is already in the stock.

DON'T BUY

He thinks this company has a good platform, but the challenge is around valuation. Recent rumours could cause multiples to drop quickly.

BUY

It was a great stock until a short report a few months ago that claimed the stock was too expensive. Then, the company issued amazing numbers. She likes this, but would love it if it were cheaper.

BUY

Continues to own this one. This is a company that has been compared to Amazon or Alibaba. It is bringing e-commerce to everyone. The valuation it is high, but the growth is no contest to any company in Canada. 70% year over year sales growth. They have been taking profits but more to avoid portfolio concentration.

TOP PICK

In the merchant cloud service. Earnings are fantastic. Revenue growth of 46%. Ticking all the boxes. They have a 200 dollars target. (Analysts’ price target is $175.41)

DON'T BUY

He does not believe that the business model is wrong, but at current valuation levels. There is no argument with the business model. It could become the global platform all retail and would be worth double then. The expectations right now are just too high.

WATCH

One to trade rather than hold long-term. It took a full year to crack $150. It may have higher support left. If it holds to $150 support level, it could be off to the races.

HOLD

Great Canadian success story. A global leader. Valuation is not cheap, so it is hard to pound the table and tell people to establish a new position.

BUY

Has broken out of a sideways movement. It dropped today with the correction, but technically it looks very good. As long as it stays above the breakout point (above 149), it’s good.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Had it and sold it too soon. He loves the stock and the concept. Just got a little nervous. Not a market stock. If it goes back to 100 he would buy it. They are not earning anything yet but the growth on their customer base is excellent.

TOP PICK

This offers investors an exciting way to play a growing global cloud-based business that helps enable small and medium-sized merchants. This is a very sticky product, very low cost, huge addressable market. (Analysts' price target is $188.)

DON'T BUY

It had a bit of a tumble 3 or 4 months ago and he had a serious look at it. It got almost into the buy range. He missed it. It is a great company but he can’t get his hands around the valuation. He would take his original investment out and then it does not owe you anything.

BUY

Had first bought this in the $60s and has since added across all his models, even though it doesn't quite fit his criteria. Their net income isn't there yet, but the top line growth has been phenomenal. They got sideswiped because of a Short report last year. It’s now reaching its all-time highs, which is quite Bullish. There has only been one quarter of results out between the Short report and now. It is building a rising wedge pattern, which is fairly bullish. If he sees it punch through $150 on heavy volume, that range is going to be behind us. Buy this with a minimum of a 3-5 year time horizon.

PARTIAL SELL

It was a poster child stock last year. They always had an extremely high valuation. No earnings. It is all forward looking. You can’t put a multiple on it. You are relying on continued rapid growth. If it had a bad quarter it could really fall off a cliff. It had gone sideways for about 6 months, so is falling in his ranking. It is a small short for him right now.
