Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SHOP

11/13/2026: SHOP (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Shopify is a leading e-commerce infrastructure company that provides a scalable platform for merchants to manage online and offline sales. Its main strength lies in its integrated ecosystem, which combines store design with essential payment and financial tools, fostering deep merchant loyalty. The investment story centers on the company’s ability to capture share in global omnichannel retail while driving higher monetization through its services. Key risks include intense competition from marketplace giants, potential macro-economic sensitivity, and the challenge of scaling enterprise solutions. The stock is typically a fit for growth-oriented investors who can tolerate price volatility, as Shopify does not pay a dividend.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SHOP receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and strong analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SHOP has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong cash generation (FCF margin 17.4%) and solid revenue growth (+30.1%) are partially offset by negative earnings growth (-39.0%), very low insider ownership of 0.23%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SHOP's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $2.0B (17.4% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Revenue growth is SHOP's strongest growth driver at +30.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+25.7%, solid) is also solid, while earnings growth (-39.0%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 71.9% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.23%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

Capital Research & Mgmt Co - Division 3 4.27%
FMR Inc 3.67%
Amvescap Plc. 2.84%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.65%
Capital World Investors 2.65%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
SHOP generates approximately $481 of gross profit, $127 of operating income, and $174 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains moderate.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.42%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
SHOP has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
