Shopify's Stock Shoots Up Toward 19-Month High, Fueled By Strong Online Holiday Shopping Data -- MarketWatch

Dow Jones2023-11-27

Shares of Shopify Inc. (SHOP) shot up 3.3% toward a 19-month high in premarket trading Monday, fueled by data suggesting online holiday shopping got off to a strong start on Black Friday. The stock has already oared 49.1% during November through Friday, which would be the best monthly performance since it rocketed 51.7% in April 2020. Adobe Analytics said consumers spent $9.8 billion online on Friday, up 7.5% from a year ago, and said Cyber Monday is expected to remain the season's biggest online shopping day at $12 billion, up 6.1% from last year. Shopify's stock, which was on track to open at the highest price seen during regular-session hours since April 2022, was the best premarket performer within the Amplify Online Retail ETF $(IBUY.AU)$, which was still untraded ahead of Monday's open. Among the ETF's other top performers, shares of fellow e-commerce software developer BigCommerce Holdings Inc. (BIGC) climbed 2.6% and buy-now-pay-later operator Affirm Holdings Inc.'s stock $(AFRM)$ advanced 2.0% toward a 14-month high. In comparison, futures (ES00) for the S&P 500 slipped 0.2% ahead of the open.
