#4 - Shopify (NYSE:SHOP)
At one point in 2021, Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock was changing hands at over $1,700 a share. But if I were to tell you that as of September 30, 2021 only 13% of U.S. retail sales were handled online, you might become more interested. And if I followed that up by pointing out that SHOP stock is now trading at 41% below its 52-week high, it becomes a very attractive proposition.
The company’s business model is ideal for many of the small- and mid-sized businesses that have expanded as many individuals embraced entrepreneurship during the pandemic. As evidence of this, the company reports that cumulative gross merchandise value for Shopify merchants doubled from $200 billion to $400 billion in just 16 months from the start of the pandemic. Prior to that it had taken the company 15 years to get to $200 billion.
From a technical standpoint, SHOP stock is looking oversold. And according to information gathered by MarketBeat, analysts expect the stock to climb over 57% to a price of $1617.75 in the next 12 months.
