Shopify A

Phillip Securities downgraded Shopify from “Buy” to “Accumulate”, citing the recent price rise and at the same time raising its price target from $160 to $170.

Shopify recently reported strong Q2 results with revenue up 34% and growth in Subscription Solutions (+23%) and Merchant Solutions (+37%); the stock fell about 2.7% in morning trading. The move suggests much of the near-term upside may already be priced in; the price is well above the 52-week low but below the 52-week high. » More on de.investing.com
