$SHOP Upgrade
Evercore ISI raised Shopify to Outperform from In Line, with a $75 per share price target in a note Friday following the recent pullback in the stock.
SHOP shares are down 15% for the year to date. However, Evercore believes this "has created an attractive entry point to own a best-in-class e-commerce platform business."
"We believe there is a very resilient Long Thesis to SHOP shares," said Evercore. Analysts cited the company's very large total addressable market (~$850 billion), its very strong competitive position and up-market opportunity, its clear track record of successful product innovation, and the potential for materially ramping profitability.
Furthermore, Evercore believes that disappointing Operating Margin outlooks over the last two EPS reports – and the resulting material share price and estimates corrections – have largely de-risked SHOP shares.
"As keen observers of 'Net advertising trends, we also believe that SHOP's decision to lean into Social Media marketing to accelerate its International growth makes tactical and strategic sense," the firm concluded.

A sober valuation analysis on $SHW 🧘🏽♂️
•NTM P/E Ratio: 25.74x
•10-Year Mean: 24.36x
•NTM FCF Yield: 4.12%
•10-Year Mean: 4.24%
As you can see, $SHW appears to be trading slightly above fair value
Going forward, investors can receive ~5% LESS in earnings per share & ~3% LESS in FCF per share 🧠***
Before we get into valuation, let’s take a look at why $SHW is a quality business
BALANCE SHEET🆗
•Cash & Short-Term Inv: $276.80M
•Long-Term Debt: $8.37B
$SHW has an ok balance sheet, a BBB S&P Credit Rating, & 8.44x FFO Interest Coverage Ratio
RETURN ON CAPITAL✅
•2019: 15.4%
•2020: 19.6%
•2021: 18.1%
•2022: 18.4%
•2023: 22.4%
RETURN ON EQUITY✅
•2019: 39.2%
•2020: 52.5%
•2021: 61.7%
•2022: 72.9%
•2023: 70.1%
$SHW has strong return metrics, highlighting the financial efficiency of the business
REVENUES✅
•2013: $10.19B
•2023: $23.05B
•CAGR: 8.50%
FREE CASH FLOW✅
•2013: $917.09M
•2023: $2.63B
•CAGR: 11.12%
NORMALIZED EPS✅
•2013: $2.54
•2023: $10.35
•CAGR: 15.08%
SHARE BUYBACKS✅
•2013 Shares Outstanding: 302.69M
•LTM Shares Outstanding: 255.40M
By reducing its shares outstanding 15.6%, $SHW increased its EPS by 18.5% (assuming 0 growth)
MARGINS✅
•LTM Gross Margins: 46.7%
•LTM Operating Margins: 15.7%
•LTM Net Income Margins: 10.4%
***NOW TO VALUATION 🧠
As stated above, investors can expect to receive ~5% LESS in EPS & ~3% LESS in FCF per share
Using Benjamin Graham’s 2G rule of thumb, $SHW has to grow earnings at a 12.87% CAGR over the next several years to justify its valuation
Today, analysts anticipate 2024 - 2026 EPS growth over the next few years to be slightly less than the (12.87%) required growth rate:
2024E: $11.39 (10.1% YoY) *FY Dec
2025E: $12.71 (11.6% YoY)
2026E: $14.24 (12.0% YoY)
$SHW has an excellent track record of meeting analyst estimates ~2 years out, so let’s assume $SHW ends 2026 with $14.24 in EPS & see its CAGR potential assuming different multiples
26x P/E: $370.24💵 … ~10.1% CAGR
25x P/E: $356.00💵 … ~8.5% CAGR
24x P/E: $341.76💵 … ~6.8% CAGR
23x P/E: $327.52💵 … ~5.0% CAGR
As you can see, $SHW appears to have attractive return potential if we assume >26x earnings, a multiple greater than its 10-year mean & more importantly doesn’t leave us with a margin of safety
Today at $296💵 $SHW trades at a fair valuation
Instead, I’d consider $SHW a worthwhile consideration for investment closer to $270💵 (roughly 9% below today’s price) or at ~23.42x NTM earnings estimates
At $270💵 I can reasonably expect double-digit return potential when assuming a 24x multiple (assuming today’s estimates)
