Shopify Earnings: Impact of Tariff on Merchants Will Lay the Future Price Action

Wall Street is expecting healthy first-quarter results. All eyes are eager for news about the impact of the trade war on the small-to-medium-sized merchants. A factor to watch is the Q2 2025 guidance and management commentary around merchants’ exposure to tariffs.

Key Highlights

  • The company has demonstrated remarkable performance with revenues reaching $8.88 billion over the last twelve months, representing a robust 25.78% year-over-year growth.
  • Shopify’s (TSX:SHOP) expansion into enterprise and international markets represents a significant growth opportunity, offering potential for larger deal sizes and more stable recurring revenue.
  • Potential strategic price increases could boost revenue and margins without significantly impacting customer acquisition or retention, potentially improving financial performance and justifying valuation multiples.
  • Slowing growth rates could put pressure on Shopify’s high valuation multiples, potentially leading to a correction in the stock price if the company fails to meet or exceed growth expectations.
  • Intensifying competition in the e-commerce space may challenge Shopify’s ability to maintain its market position, particularly as it expands into enterprise and international markets.

Technical Analysis Perspective

  • SHOP is forming a large Cup & Handle formation from January 2022 until date.
  • The Cup was completed from January 2022 to February 2025.
  • Prices are hovering inside a handle formation, trading between two parallel lines.
  • The range of the handle is 102 – 60 this month.
  • A strong sustained break above 102 post earnings would trigger the formation targeting 130, 139 with more room to 155.
  • A rejection of 102 obstacles would suggest a longer-range trade between 102 – 90 with more downside risk to 69.
  • The earnings are a good catalyst for the formation to trigger which is dependent on Q2 2025 guidance.
