Shopify Stock Plunges As Q3 Gross Operating Profit, Revenue Miss
Shopify stock fell sharply following third-quarter results where revenue and gross merchandise volume missed Wall Street estimates. Despite reporting 32% annual growth and revenue of $3.74 billion, the company failed to meet expectations for the first time since 2022. The decline was driven by weaker subscription sales and slowing merchandise volume, though the company achieved an adjusted earnings beat. Premarket losses were reported as high as 19%, while other reports noted a 9% to 16% drop.
