A Brief Background On Etsy Stocks
In order to make a decision on what to do with this stock, begin by going through the background. Etsy was founded in 2005 and has continued to have a growing user base. Business wise, Etsy has not made negative headlines and is still considered one of the top selling platforms in the United States.
In 2018 there was drastic revenue growth of 37% which made buyers wary.
Current Numbers And Pricing
As of now, Etsy is selling stocks and shares at $68 despite falls in day to day numbers. The falls are intimidating and have opened up an area of vulnerability for the one-of-a-kind company.
According to InvestorPlace, “At the moment, ETSY trades at over 13x revenue and over 60x 2020 EPS estimates. Those multiples are big, but admittedly not terribly out of place in the current market environment.”
The quote above really showcases how analysts are confused by this vulnerable stock.
What Exactly Makes Etsy Vulnerable?
Vulnerability refers to being exposed to potential harm or possibilities. Etsy in the last few years was doing fine. The stock price at one point was $50. Some experts believed the price was too high due to the already high fees being paid to the e-commerce site.
Other opinions differed drastically. The price to others is considered just right in comparison to the whole market.
The fees, however, did play a large roll in the number and value produced by Etsy stocks. With each year changing, Etsy may be susceptible to a tank in stock prices.
