Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Shutterfly stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shutterfly’s second-quarter 2017 loss of $0.44 per share was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.54 and the prior-year quarter loss of $0.48 per share. Net revenue increased 2% year over year, supported by strong performance of the flagship Shutterfly brand. However, revenues lagged the consensus mark by 0.6%. Shutterfly’s focus on improving operational efficiency through major restructuring bodes well for the long term. Product innovations and improving technology-related offerings are also expected to be solid growth drivers. However, Shutterfly is expected to incur huge restructuring and other costs, which could weigh on margins. Also, susceptibility to seasonality and consumer spending trends raises concern."

• 2. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "SFLY printed a good quarter beating on the top line and EBITDA despite beginning to transition its ancillary brands to core SFLY. Progress remains on the transition, but investment in technology to enable to transition has begun." (4/26/2017)
• 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "We hosted the company's management team for a series of meetings last week and walked away positively inclined toward the on-going turnaround the team plans to execute during much of 2017 and into 2018. Although we think the stock lacks short-term catalysts, we maintain our rating and PT, given the current valuation and what we view as good prospects for a turnaround and for more aggressive stock buybacks."
