Shopify Inc. (SHOP) on Decifer

Decifer ranks SHOP number 147 of 267 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 9% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 30% a year, profits are expected to grow 30%, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• We do not have a clean read on how it is run yet.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• Revenue growing 30% is appealing but an unclear management read and momentum of 10 out of 35 hold the case back.

The current read

The evidence on SHOP lines up on the supportive side: research view: SHOP is a high-conviction name in Software, Cloud & AI Platforms. The independent signals we track are telling the same story.
