Investing.com - Needham has raised its price target on Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) to $72.00 from $55.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock following the company’s second-quarter results. The new target falls within the broader analyst range of $41 to $88, with InvestingPro data showing 4 analysts recently revising their earnings estimates upward.
The price target increase represents a 31% upside from the previous target and comes after Etsy reported better-than-expected performance in its second quarter.
Needham cited "greater confidence in a return to sustainable GMS growth and margin durability" as key factors behind the more optimistic outlook for the e-commerce marketplace.
The firm acknowledged that expectations and valuation for Etsy were already elevated heading into the earnings report, but viewed the company’s third-quarter guidance positively, noting it calls for "another sequential improvement in GMS trends."
Needham indicated that while the guidance provides "a good starting point," the market will likely need to see "continued improvement in the coming quarters on its way back to YoY growth to support further multiple expansion."
