Shopify Inc. (SHOP) shares fell 3.06% to $150.00, hitting a 20-day low, as the broader market faced significant declines with the Nasdaq-100 down 1.66% and the S&P 500 down 1.39%.
The decline in Shopify's stock price is primarily attributed to broad market weakness, as the overall technology sector struggled, impacting investor sentiment. Despite the negative movement, Shopify's upcoming earnings report on February 10, 2026, is anticipated to show an EPS estimate of $0.47, reflecting a 6.82% year-over-year increase, which could provide a potential catalyst for recovery in the future.
The current market conditions suggest a challenging environment for Shopify, but the company's focus on e-commerce growth and positive earnings outlook may help stabilize its stock in the long run.
Wall Street analysts forecast SHOP stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for SHOP is 180.62 USD with a low forecast of 140.00 USD and a high forecast of 200.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
