What Is Shopify PE Ratio?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:57 pm

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. It is also the name of its proprietary e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems. Shopify offers online retailers a suite of services “including payments, marketing, shipping and customer engagement” tools.

As of May 2019, Shopify has more than 800,000 merchants using its platform who have sales totalling more than $41 billion.

Shopify was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after attempting to open Snowdevil, an online store for snowboarding equipment. Snowdevil was unable to find a suitable e-commerce platform, so Lütke decided to create his own.

The company launched its platform in June 2006. In 2010, Shopify started its Build-A-Business competition, in which participants create a business using its platform over the course of six weeks. The winner of the competition receives $100,000 to invest in their business.

In 2015 Shopify acquired Select Start Studios Inc., a Canada-based company that designs and builds apps for the Shopify App Store.

In September 2016 Shopify partnered with Pinterest to allow merchants to buy ads that promote their products on Pinterest.

In April 2019 Shopify launched Shopify Fulfillment Network in an effort to make fast, reliable shipping available to all of its merchants regardless of their location or size.

Shopify’s high PE ratio suggests that investors are expecting high growth from the company in the future.

PRO TIP: Shopify’s PE ratio is high and it is important to be aware of this when considering investing in the company. The ratio indicates that the company is overvalued and may not be a wise investment at this time.

Shopify has been growing rapidly in recent years, thanks to the increasing popularity of ecommerce.

The company’s revenue grew by 69% in 2018, and it is expected to grow by another 36% in 2019.

However, Shopify’s high valuation means that it will need to continue growing at a rapid pace to justify its current stock price.
