Morgan Stanley Maintains Underweight on Etsy, Lowers Price Target to $40

Etsy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NYSE">ETSY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 9.15% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.02 million shares sold short, which is 19.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.4 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 declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less 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 9.48%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

BofA analyst Curtis Nagle looks at the tariff and recession implications for home furnishing companies and Etsy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>).
The upcoming 2025 tariffs could significantly disrupt the U.S. home furnishings industry, as a large share of imports originate from China and Southeast Asia, regions that now face tariffs as high as 50%, said the analyst.
Although companies previously managed similar tariffs in 2018 through cost-cutting and shifting production, those strategies may no longer be viable due to limited sourcing alternatives and low factory output amid weak demand.
Nagle warned that while retailers may attempt to pass added costs to consumers through higher prices, historical patterns show such hikes often reduce demand.
During the 2018 tariffs, even with mitigation, furniture prices rose and sales growth slowed from a 4% annual increase in 2018 to a 0.6% decline in 2019. 
With broader tariffs expected in 2025 and few cost-cutting options available, price increases of up to 30% may be necessary, potentially leading to further demand erosion, especially in the event of broader inflation or a recession.

The Analyst cautioned that new tariff-driven price hikes, weak consumer confidence, a soft housing market and looming recession fears could further dampen demand.
While sales have already dropped 20% since 2021, a short-term buying boost may occur if consumers try to purchase before prices rise or if tariff relief is negotiated.
Wayfair Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) is a leader in the home furnishings market, with a catalog of over 30 million items from 20,000 suppliers.
This vast supplier network allows the company to avoid inventory risks faced by traditional retailers while enabling strategic flexibility through vendor negotiations, product mix adjustments and pricing strategies.
Historically, Wayfair has demonstrated resilience during inflationary periods. The company successfully preserved its gross margins in 2018 and 2021 despite rising prices across the furnishings category.
However, the analyst warns that if the 2025 tariffs are fully implemented, Wayfair could struggle to fully pass along the higher costs to consumers.
The company's key sourcing partners may not be able to absorb the increased expense and significant price hikes could weaken demand.
RH (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RH#NYSE">RH</a>) was initially viewed as well-positioned within the home furnishings sector heading into 2025 due to its plans to shift sourcing away from China and a track record of minimizing tariff-related expenses.
However, the analyst now sees RH at risk of facing considerable cost pressures if the tariffs are implemented as proposed.
The company's sourcing footprint includes 35% of its product volume from Vietnam, which would be hit with a 46% tariff and another 14% from Southeast Asian nations excluding China, where duties could exceed 30%.
Nagle reiterated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ETSY/analyst-ratings">Neutral rating </a>on the shares of Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) and lowered the price forecast from $55.00 to $50.00.
ETSY may be less vulnerable to direct tariff impacts than its peers, but the analyst says it still faces significant headwinds.
Only a quarter of the marketplace&#8217;s goods are imported and its exposure to China is minimal &#8211; under 2% of Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS). Canada and Mexico contribute less than 5% combined, with Canada being the larger contributor.
While tariff effects may be muted, Etsy&#8217;s reliance on discretionary spending raises red flags amid growing recession fears.
As of the fourth quarter of 2024, nearly 70% of Etsy&#8217;s GMS came from categories such as home goods, jewelry and apparel segments likely to suffer if consumers tighten spending.

Tariffs, Recession Fears Could Derail Wayfair, RH And Etsy, Says Analyst

JP Morgan analyst Bryan Smilek maintains Etsy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) with a Neutral and lowers the price target from $50 to $42.

Etsy Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) direct exposure to tariff-vulnerable countries, including Canada, Mexico and China, is limited, according to JPMorgan.
The Etsy Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/65eed5d99b25ca0001b38792/bryan-smilek">Analyst Bryan Smilek</a> maintained a Neutral rating and price target of $50.
The Etsy Thesis: Etsy's marketplace does not have significant exposure to the impact of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China as less than 5% of its gross merchandise sales (GMS) are generated by US buyers that source from these three countries combined, Smilek said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering levying tariffs on imports from the European Union, which would "carry greater impact on GMS."
The analyst stated that to alleviate tariff headwinds, Etsy may promote domestic sales, like promoting Canadian goods to a Canada-based buyer. However, Etsy and other e-commerce companies may witness lower demand as sellers try to transfer incremental tariff costs to consumers, "driving increased pricing across the industry," he said.
"Beyond core demand, we believe Onsite Advertising growth (i.e. Etsy Ads, not Offsite Ads) could be impacted from demand/GMS headwinds, driving sellers to potentially rationalize costs against lower sales," Smilek further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Etsy had risen by 1.32% to $49.17 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Etsy's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

PLCE

Shares of e-commerce and retail companies are trading lower amid weakening consumer confidence and eBay's soft Q1 revenue guidance.

Etsy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NYSE">ETSY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.25% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.13 million shares sold short, which is 18.49% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 6.73 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 declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less 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 9.63%, 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>
