SHOP: Earnings-Eve Pause Near Record Zone
$Shopify(SHOP)$
$172.94 (−0.53%): Earnings-eve breather near record zone; bulls guarding the $166–182 band
Market Recap (as of Oct 31, 2025):
Shopify closed at $172.94, slipping 0.53% on elevated volume (~13.4M vs ~8.1M avg) as traders squared positions ahead of Q3 earnings on Nov 4.
The stock is up about 62% YTD but still roughly 5% below its 52-week high around $182.2, after a powerful run driven by 25–30% revenue growth and optimism around AI-enabled commerce tools and the OpenAI integration.
Fundamentally, Shopify trades at about 96x TTM earnings versus the S&P 500’s ~32x trailing and ~23x forward P/E, putting it firmly in premium “high-growth SaaS” territory.
Street 12-month targets average $165–168 with a high near $200, so price is slightly above consensus but still below top-bull scenarios.
Technical Indicators Analysis:
Technically, SHOP remains in a strong uptrend: price is riding above the rising 20-day EMA (~$166) and 50-day EMA (~$156), with MACD positive and above its signal and RSI around 62, signaling healthy bullish momentum without being severely overbought.
Your chart implies parabolic SAR on standard settings still trails below price, confirming the trend. Volume plus MACD/RSI and the EMA stack all argue for a bullish but choppy week inside roughly $166–$182 as the market digests earnings.
Key supports sit at $166, then $155-160 near the 50-day; resistance is $178–182 (current high zone).
If earnings and guidance surprise positively, a breakout could push toward $185–195, in line with recent upward-revised targets, while a miss or cautious outlook could drag shares back toward $155–150 as valuation compresses.
