Shopify (NasdaqGS:SHOP) Added To NASDAQ-100 Index Following Positive Developments
Shopify recently gained attention with its addition to the NASDAQ-100 Index on May 19, a move that likely bolstered its standing among investors. Over the past month, the company's shares rose by about 30%, a significant contrast to the broader market's smaller growth. This jump was potentially influenced further by a strategic three-year partnership with Global-e Online, announced in mid-May, which aims to enhance international e-commerce operations. Despite a reported net loss in financial performance, these strategic moves seemed to reinforce investor confidence, contributing to the company's robust share price growth.
You should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Shopify.
AI is about to change healthcare. These 21 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early.
The addition of Shopify to the NASDAQ-100, alongside its new alliance with Global-e Online, might serve as a crucial catalyst for its broader growth strategy. Despite recent gains, Shopify's share value stands at a discount of 5.08% to the consensus price target of US$114.64. This relationship implies potential upside, should the strategic developments bolster their revenue and earnings forecasts effectively. Investors appear to be supportive of the initiatives aiming to enhance international e-commerce operations and expand Shopify's influence in the global market.
Over the past three years, Shopify's total return was very large, indicating a robust long-term performance despite recent volatility. For context, this impressive growth contrasts with a more recent one-year performance where Shopify outperformed the US IT industry, which grew by 28.9%. This trend highlights Shopify's capacity to sustain momentum amidst competitive market pressures.
The revenue and earnings forecasts reflect expansion ambitions, projecting annual growth rates exceeding US market averages. However, these optimistic forecasts depend on successful execution of initiatives like AI investments and broader strategic partnerships. Aligning these outcomes with the current price target suggests that despite the company's aggressive growth objectives, investor expectations remain tempered by potential execution risks.

UK-US trade deal is ‘done', Donald Trump says as he meets Keir Starmer at G7
The UK-US trade deal has been signed and is 'done', US President Donald Trump said as he met with Sir Keir Starmer at the G7 summit. The Prime Minister said the completed deal 'implements on car tariffs and aerospace', and described the agreement as a 'sign of strength' between Britain and America. In recent months, the UK has held a series of engagements aimed at securing a reduction in the tariffs Mr Trump imposed on Britain and the rest of the world on April 2. Along with 10% tariffs on all British goods, the president imposed 25% levies on cars and steel. He later increased the tariff on steel to 50%, but gave the UK a reprieve, keeping its rate at 25% until at least July 9. Under the broad terms of last month's agreement, the US will implement quotas that will effectively eliminate the tariff on British steel and reduce the tariff on UK vehicles to 10%.

‘We are open for business': Healey hosts Canadian premiers, Northeast governors amid Trump trade talks
Advertisement But at least two Canadian premiers, Ontario's Doug Ford and New Brunswick's Susan Holt, indicated they won't be encouraging their constituents to vacation in the US, at least not until Carney and Trump can reach some sort of deal. Ford also cited Toronto's building boom, and said that normally the builders there would be using US-made steel but now through legislation, they're encouraged to use Canadian-made steel instead. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'The leaders I talk to around the world are dumbfounded,' Ford said. 'They say, 'I can't believe the president is going after your country.'' And Holt said she hopes to lure some talented scientists away from the US amid the Trump administration's cutbacks in federal research funding. 'I'm not going to pretend that folks in Canada don't see this as an opportunity to attract some of the best and brightest,' Holt said. 'Maybe we'll borrow your talent for a little while.' Advertisement Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said he viewed the governors in the room as allies and friends. 'Everyone around this table is trying to deal with a situation that was thrust upon us,' Houston said. 'Canadians, when [we] hear the talk about the 51st state stuff, we're pretty ticked off.' The New England governors rattled off some of the downside effects of these trade tensions, from canceled B&B reservations to rising costs for medical device materials and aluminum for craft brewers. Maine's Janet Mills said she's already seeing a big drop-off in tourism from Canadian visitors, saying 'hurt pride' is a bigger factor than the tariffs. The New England governors and Eastern Canadian premiers typically meet every year to discuss shared issues; this time, Hochul and Ford were included in those conversations as well. When asked by a reporter if any significant resolutions or commitments had emerged from the discussions on Monday, Healey responded by saying, 'We're going to commit to ensure a better flow of trade,' and 'we are committed to marketing the Northeast as a great destination for Canadians to come and visit.' Healey added: 'I expect good things to come from this, concrete things, but also hopefully we're sending a message today to our friends in Canada and others across the United States that we are open for business [and] we want to continue with a relationship that has stood us well for decades.'

Informa TechTarget Confirms Five-Month Revenues in Line With First Half 2025 Guidance
NEWTON, Mass., June 16, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT) ("Informa TechTarget" or the "Company"), a leading growth accelerator for the B2B Technology sector, today provides an update on its business ahead of Informa PLC's ("Informa") Annual General Meeting Trading Update (the majority shareholder in TTGT), which will be published on June 17, 2025. The Company intends to issue similar updates in the future in advance of Informa publishing any information relevant to Informa TechTarget. Informa will report five-month underlying revenues for Informa TechTarget down approximately 5% on a combined company basis, in line with previous Informa TechTarget commentary, which guided to a low to mid-single digit decline in revenues through the first half of 2025. The five-month performance includes a sequential improvement in revenue growth from Q1 2025 moving into Q2 2025, reflecting the initial benefits of going to market as a combined Company. The early months of the year were focused on combining the two businesses, bringing together colleagues, teams, processes and technology. We approached this at pace to provide certainty as quickly as possible and while this created some inevitable short-term disruption, this accelerated approach enabled the Company to enter Q2 with clarity on reporting lines and leadership, product strategy and a clear road map to deliver for customers. While the current market backdrop remains subdued, we are confident that the benefits of combination strengthen our market position and provide the breadth and scale to increase market share over time. We continue to develop our product offer and refine our go-to-market strategy, and this is resonating with customers, suggesting we will be well placed to benefit as our clients increase their investment in growth initiatives. Through the remainder of 2025, we are targeting continuing improvement in the trajectory of revenues, building off the improvement from Q1 into Q2 through the second half of the year as we gain more traction in the market as a combined company, with a goal to get back to broadly flat revenues across the year. Informa TechTarget filed its Form 10-K for 2024 on May 28, 2025 and is currently working on the filing of its Q1 results on Form 10-Q ("Q1 Report"). As previously disclosed, the Q1 Report is expected to include a non-cash goodwill impairment to reflect the difference in the current stock market valuation to book values.
