Shopify Fends Off Temu and Shein as Sales Narrowly Beat Estimates

February 13, 2024BruceDayne

Shopify Inc. reported sales and profit for the fourth quarter that narrowly beat analysts’ estimates, suggesting the Canadian e-commerce giant fended off competition from Asian shopping platforms like Temu, Shein and TikTok.

Revenue for the period rose 24 percent to $2.1 billion, beating the $2.08 billion average estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Profit, excluding one-time items, was 34 cents a share, above the 30-cent expectation.

The results didn’t impress Wall Street, after the shares more than doubled last year. Shopify fell about 4 percent in US premarket trading.

The Ottawa-based company raised software prices for online merchants earlier this month, a move that’s expected to generate more than $100 million in additional revenue this year without driving away many customers. Shopify is in its first year of a deal with Amazon to let merchants use its “Buy With Prime” delivery service. Shopify sold its own logistics business to freight-forwarding startup Flexport last year.

Gross merchandise volume, the overall value of merchant sales across Shopify’s systems, increased 23 percent to $75.1 billion, above Wall Street projections of $71.6 billion.
