#5 - Shopify (NYSE:SHOP)
The last five years have accelerated the trend toward e-commerce and entrepreneurship, and Shopify Inc. (NYSE: SHOP) is leading the way.
Shopify empowers entrepreneurs and supports small businesses, particularly in developing nations by providing easy-to-use tools and resources that can help with responsible sourcing, carbon offsetting, and the promotion of eco-friendly products. And the company continues to make investments in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI). For example, its Shopify Magic tool helps customers edit photos and offers suggestions to change product descriptions and frequently asked questions.
Subscription revenue is a key to Shopify’s business model, and it’s no surprise that the company’s revenue spiked in 2020 and 2021. But the SHOPP stock chart is showing that demand is down from its peak but hasn’t returned to 2019 levels, and is likely to remain higher. That’s consistent with a labor force that may never again look quite the same as it did prior to 2020.
