ETSY INC

Etsy

Etsy operates a top-10 e-commerce marketplace in the US and the UK, with sizable operations in Germany, France, Australia, and Canada. The firm dominates an interesting niche, connecting buyers and sellers through its online market to exchange vintage and craft goods. With $12.5 billion in 2024 consolidated gross merchandise volume, Etsy has cemented itself as one of the largest players in a quickly growing space, generating revenue from listing fees, commissions on sold items, advertising services, payment processing, and shipping labels. The firm connects about 95 million buyers and 8 million sellers on its marketplace properties: Etsy and Depop (clothing resale).

Etsy Inc

The S&amp;P 500 is at an all-time high. Tech stocks like NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) have all hit all-time highs in the past six months.
Despite the uncertainties brought about by the tariff wars and other geopolitical events, AI has generally been a blessing for the tech investor.
But does it make sense to carry this optimism forward to all the other technology sectors? This article analyzes the current standing of various publicly traded companies in the online economy and how they are expected to fare over the next several months.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SaaS Industries: Innovation or Implosion?</h2>
According to a <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-saas-factor-six-ways-to-drive-growth-by-building-new-saas-businesses">McKinsey report</a>, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a globally $3 trillion industry that is expected to hit $10 trillion by 2030. Some of the major SaaS categories today include CRM, ERP, eCommerce, cybersecurity, and other enterprise business management suites.
A lot of these business categories are being actively disrupted by AI and are likely to witness churn over the next several years.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI in Customer Support: Hype vs. Reality</h3>
AI agents are expected to play an increasingly prominent role in the areas of customer service and engagement.&nbsp;
One of the biggest players in this segment is Zendesk Inc. which has completely pivoted from its traditional helpdesk suite to AI-agent customer support. After delisting from the NYSE in 2022, Zendesk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37875551/after-delisting-from-nyse-in-2022-zendesk-announced-it-is-acquiring-a-german-ai-customer-automation">acquired</a> Ultimate, a German startup using artificial intelligence for customer service.&nbsp;
Other competitors like Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRSH#NASDAQ">FRSH</a>) are pivoting to AI-first solutions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Investor Pressures and the AI-First Pivot</h3>
A lot of this evolution is driven by investor pressure to reinvent these companies in the age of AI. But as a <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-07-09-gartner-survey-finds-64-percent-of-customers-would-prefer-that-companies-didnt-use-ai-for-customer-service">Gartner report</a> recently found, 64% of customers would prefer companies not to use AI for customer service.&nbsp;
This leaves the market open for the relatively smaller players like Jitbit and Zoho to thrive. While Jitbit too recently introduced AI agents to their features list, the core offering continues to be traditional SaaS and on-desk support software solutions.
Long-term investment in the SaaS space would be driven by the core value delivered by AI, and whether end-customers would adapt to the AI-first approach that is championed by the market leaders today.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Creator Economy: Thriving or Threatened?</h2>
The creator economy is poised for big disruption due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). A lot of content production can today be automated with the help of AI.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">B2C Resilience: YouTube, Instagram, and the Power of Influence</h3>
Social media behemoths like YouTube, Instagram, and Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) shall continue to thrive in the face of AI. Other emerging areas of the creator economy, like eSports and livestreaming, that are relatively less resistant to AI disruption, are also expected to thrive.&nbsp;
A <a href="https://whop.com/blog/online-earnings-report/">recent study</a> published by Whop found that eSports is expected to be a $2 billion revenue market in 2025. This continues to be one of the prime ‘side hustles' among the Gen Z generation, with entry-level professionals earning over $100 per hour.&nbsp;
While the future of the creator economy appears bright in the B2C segment, the same cannot be said for other businesses in the B2B space.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">B2B Pressures: Fiverr, Upwork, and the GenAI Disruption</h3>
Two stocks worth following are Fiverr International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FVRR#NYSE">FVRR</a>) and Upwork Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPWK#NASDAQ">UPWK</a>), which let businesses hire freelance contractors for online projects, including SEO, content production, and programming.&nbsp;
These are services that are being actively disrupted by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/generative-ai">GenAI</a> tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and MidJourney. As these technologies get better, the creator economy marketplaces like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FVRR">Fiverr</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPWK">Upwork</a> could witness challenges with respect to customer acquisition.
Fiverr is navigating this challenge with the launch of Fiverr Go, an AI model trained by its freelancers. As a market leader, Upwork is relying on its larger pool of high-ticket employers to thrive.&nbsp;
In May this year, Upwork changed its service fee from a flat 10% to a variable structure ranging between 0% and 15%. The rationale behind this move is to incentivize businesses with high-ticket projects to benefit from lower fees, while making up for it through higher fees for smaller projects.
However, increasing service charges may not be viable for the long term. Loss of income due to high service fees can be attributed to the growth of digital creator platforms that charge relatively lower fees from its creators.
Also, since platforms like this are preferred by creators with stronger social networks, this poses a risk to freelance marketplaces like Upwork that rely on strong freelancer credentials to stay relevant.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ECommerce and AI Race</h2>
ECommerce is one of the biggest contributors to the online economy. The largest players in the eCommerce platform space include Shopify Inc. (SHOP) and BigCommerce Inc. (BIGC).
In the last 10 years, Shopify <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/06/45734747/heres-how-much-you-would-have-made-owning-shopify-stock-in-the-last-10-years">has grown</a> at an average annual rate of 47.96%, cementing itself as a leader in the segment.&nbsp;
Given the near permanence of eCommerce, this industry appears to be safe from the AI onslaught. Both Shopify and BigCommerce have introduced AI-enabled features like Shopify Magic and AI Store Builder to their suite.
However, the eCommerce ecosystem could be ripe for disruption from AI. The Shopify and BigCommerce app ecosystem has enabled thousands of businesses to symbiotically thrive and grow over the years.&nbsp;
Their leadership could be disrupted by nimble AI-driven apps that ship features faster and are cheaper because of low overheads.
According to Dave Lavinsky, business strategy expert and founder of PlanPros, an AI-based business plan generator provider, a lot of these uncertainties driven by AI are unlikely to cause long-term impact on the success of these organizations. He says that businesses are actively reassessing their business plan and the future direction of the industry. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Digital Marketing Economy</h2>
The digital marketing industry is one of the most vulnerable to advances in AI. Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) has made major changes to the Google.com online search platform that bring Generative AI-based answers to the forefront. 
The more recently launched AI Mode on Google will allow search users to deploy AI agents to search and execute tasks on their behalf.
Big improvements are also afoot in the online advertising space, with both Google and Meta Platforms Inc. (META) introducing AI-driven features in advertising. 
These changes are likely to steadily erode the value of several digital marketing activities, including SEO and PPC. While it is difficult to assess the long-term impact of these changes, the market is volatile for businesses offering these services, including marketing software companies like Semrush Holdings Inc. (SEMR) and Similarweb Ltd. (SMWB).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Investing Strategy Forward</h2>
As AI changes industries, the offerings will evolve as well, and markets should reach a point of equilibrium over the next couple of years. However, while this philosophy may work for ETFs and Indices targeting such sectors, the fortunes of specific stocks may still hinge on the leadership at these organizations and how they steer the ship forward.
It may be a wise move to trade based on technicals that are likely to hold over the short and mid-term timeframes. However, for people seeking a long-term investment horizon, the uncertainties and volatility of this industry make it an unappealing prospect, at least for the next 6-12 month period.

Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>), which operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world, today announced the pricing of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,&nbsp;as&nbsp;amended&nbsp;(the&nbsp;"Securities&nbsp;Act").&nbsp;Etsy also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of notes.&nbsp;The sale of the notes is expected to close on June 16, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be general unsecured obligations of Etsy and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2025, at a rate of 1.00% per year. The notes will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate will be 11.6570 shares of Etsy's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $85.79 per share). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 42.5% over the last reported sale price of Etsy's common stock on June 11, 2025. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of&nbsp;Etsy's common stock or a combination of cash and&nbsp;shares of&nbsp;Etsy's&nbsp;common&nbsp;stock,&nbsp;at&nbsp;Etsy's election.&nbsp;
Etsy estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $639.3 million (or approximately $688.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Etsy. Etsy expects to use approximately $150.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Etsy's common stock as described below, and the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase, at or prior to maturity, of our existing debt securities.

JP Morgan Maintains Neutral on Etsy, Raises Price Target to $50

Etsy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NYSE">ETSY</a>) short percent of float has risen 20.03% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.04 million shares sold short, which is 30.74% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.98 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Etsy has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Etsy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Etsy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.00%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into Etsy's Recent Short Interest

Looking into the current session, Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) shares are trading at $60.14, after a 2.38% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock spiked by 33.32%, but in the past year, decreased by 7.28%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748980825_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Etsy P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Etsy has a better P/E ratio of 42.57 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 42.13 of the Broadline Retail industry. Ideally, one might believe that Etsy Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748980825_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<h3>Etsy P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 40.14 in the Broadline Retail industry, Etsy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 34.08. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Satya Nadella, Michael Dell, Lisa Su, Alex Karp And Other Top CEOs Demand AI Education For All K-12 Students In Open Letter: 'The United States Is Falling Behind'

Loop Capital analyst Laura Champine maintains Etsy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) with a Sell and lowers the price target from $40 to $37.

Loop Capital Maintains Sell on Etsy, Lowers Price Target to $37

Guggenheim analysts on Thursday lowered their price target on Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) from $70 to $50 following the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45100079/etsy-q1-revenue-beat-active-buyers-decline-and-more">Q1 earnings report.</a>
What To Know: Lead analyst Steven Forbes acknowledged that Etsy's first-quarter operating results broadly exceeded expectations but suggested this upside was offset by a gross margin miss and what he called "broad-based expense control," which ultimately muted the quality of the beat.
 Management expects gross merchandise sales (GMS) to fall 7–8% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA margins around 25%, below the analyst&#8217;s prior assumptions. Forbes remarked that new buyer trends remained "disappointing" and the decline in core marketplace performance suggests a weakening fundamental backdrop. Despite management&#8217;s intention to ramp up engagement-focused investments and spending in newer marketing and loyalty initiatives, Guggenheim revised its 2025–2026 EBITDA estimates down by 7–9%, citing reduced operating leverage and persistent ROI concerns.
Forbes highlighted management's continued push into performance marketing, with spending up ~20% in first-quarter and a 46% increase in social media marketing but noted that return on investment concerns remain unresolved. He also pointed to rising product development and compute costs related to machine learning and free shipping programs as incremental pressures on the expense line.
While Guggenheim maintained its Buy rating, the revised outlook reflects tempered expectations, a more cautious stance on margin trends and concern over execution risk as Etsy navigates a period of slower buyer growth and heavier reinvestment.
ETSY Price Action: Etsy shares were down 1.79% at $42.70 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
