The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights Shopify, Microsoft, Roblox and Amazon
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 19, 2025 – announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Shopify SHOP, Microsoft MSFT, Roblox RBLX and Amazon AMZN. Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog: Shopify Benefits from Growing Merchant Base: Should You Buy or Wait? Shopify is benefiting from its strong growth in its merchant base. New merchant-friendly tools, such as Shop Minis, Shop Cash, and Sign in with Shop, as well as Shop Pay solutions, helped the company win merchants regularly. Strong adoption of these solutions holds promise for Shopify's prospects. This growing adoption is reflected in Shopify's financial performance. Merchant solutions revenues in the second quarter were $2.02 billion and accounted for 75.5% of Shopify's total revenues. On a year-over-year basis, merchant revenues increased 36.6%, driven by strong Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) and increased penetration of Shopify payments. GMV in the second quarter was $87.84 billion, which increased 30.6% year over year. The strong fundamentals have also been reflected in the stock's performance. Shopify shares have gained 33% in the year-to-date period compared with the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector's increase of 13.8%. The Zacks Internet - Services industry has increased 9% in the same time frame. SHOP Benefits From an Expanding Portfolio and AI Growth SHOP's expanding portfolio has been a major growth driver for its success. Its merchant-friendly tool Shop Pay stands out as a key driver. The app processed $27 billion in Gross Merchandise Value in the second quarter of 2025, up 65% year over year. Shopify's international expansion is another key driver of its growing merchant base. The company's second-quarter 2025 results revealed that international GMV grew 42% year over year, with Europe leading the charge. This growth is fueled by both new merchants joining the platform and existing merchants outperforming their respective e-commerce markets. Shopify is at the forefront of agentic commerce, leveraging AI to transform how consumers discover and shop for products. The company's investment in AI-driven tools, such as Catalog, Universal Cart, and Sidekick, helped merchants improve customer engagement and streamline operations. A Rich Partner Base Aids SHOP's Prospects Shopify's rich partner ecosystem has been a major growth driver. An expanding partner base, which includes Microsoft, TikTok, Roblox, PayPal, Snap, Pinterest, Criteo, IBM, Cognizant, Alphabet's cloud computing platform Google Cloud, and Adayen, has further expanded its merchant base. Shopify's partnership with Microsoft has been noteworthy. The partnership with Microsoft involves the integration of Shopify's Checkout Kit into Microsoft's Copilot, a major player in the AI space. This integration allows merchants to embed their checkout process directly within Microsoft's AI-driven platform, enabling seamless shopping experiences for users. In its commerce integration partnership with Roblox, Shopify has opened new avenues for merchants to reach a younger and more engaged audience. This collaboration with Roblox allows Shopify to strengthen its position in the digital commerce space. In the second quarter of 2025, Shopify signed iconic brands like Starbucks, Canada Goose, and Burton Snowboards, highlighting Shopify's ability to cater to diverse industries. Other notable additions included Michael Kors, Miele, Beachbody, and Signet Jewelers, which reflect Shopify's rising popularity. SHOP Suffers from Stiff Competition Despite SHOP's strong growth in its merchant base and expanding footprint, it is facing stiff competition in the e-commerce marketplace against the likes of Amazon and Alibaba. Amazon is expanding its footprint in the e-commerce space by continuously expanding its product offerings. In the second quarter of 2025, Amazon launched generative AI tools to enhance the shopping experience, including 'Hear the highlights' for audio summaries of reviews and 'Enhance My Listing' to keep product listings current and compelling. SHOP's 2025 Earnings Estimates Revisions Are Steady The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SHOP's 2025 earnings is currently pegged at $1.44 per share, which has increased 2.8% over the past 30 days and indicates year-over-year growth of 10.77%. The consensus mark for SHOP's 2025 revenues is currently pegged at $11.21 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 26.24%. Shopify Inc. price-consensus-chart | Shopify Inc. Quote SHOP Stock Overvalued SHOP stock is currently overvalued, as the Value Score of F suggests a stretched valuation at this moment. The stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 14.50X compared with the Internet - Services industry's 5.49X. Conclusion: Hold SHOP Stock for Now SHOP is benefiting from strong growth in its merchant base and expanding footprint. Its focus on improving its client base is a key catalyst. Hence, investors who already own the stock may expect the company's growth prospects to be rewarding over the long term. However, stiff competition, challenging macroeconomic uncertainties, persistent inflation, and cautious consumer spending are headwinds. In the second quarter of 2025, Shopify also faced gross margin pressure due to higher hosting costs, the return to three-month paid trials, and the expanded PayPal partnership, which carried lower margins. Stretched valuation also remains a concern. Shopify currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which implies that investors should wait for a more favorable time to accumulate the stock.

Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights: Target, Walmart and Amazon
For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – August 19, 2025 – Today, Zacks Investment Ideas feature highlights Target TGT, Walmart WMT and Amazon AMZN. Walmart vs. Target: Which Is the Big-Box Retailer to Own Ahead of Q2 Earnings? With a bulk of the Q2 results from the retail sector looming this week, Target and Walmart will be in focus regarding the major supermarket chains. Sparking an interesting conversation, both of these prominent retail stocks trade near $100 a share but are on different sides of the spectrum regarding this range, with WMT at a 52-week high while TGT is more than 35% below its one-year peak. This certainly makes it a worthy topic of which retail stock may be the better investment as their Q2 reports approach, with the premise of whether investors should buy Walmart stock for higher highs or buy the drop in Target shares for a rebound. Target & Walmart Q2 Expectations Set to report Q2 results on Wednesday, August 20, Zacks' projections call for Target's quarterly sales to be down 2% to $24.91 billion compared to $25.45 billion a year ago. On the bottom line, Target's Q2 earnings are expected to fall roughly 20% to $2.06 per share from EPS of $2.57 in the prior year quarter. As for Walmart, which will be reporting on Thursday, August 21, its Q2 sales are thought to have risen more than 3% to $175.51 billion versus $169.34 billion in the prior period. Even better, Walmart's Q2 EPS is expected to be up 9% to $0.73 from earnings of $0.67 a share in the comparative quarter. TGT & WMT Stock Performance Overview Explaining the divergence in their stock performance (and Q2 expectations), despite facing tariff headwinds of its own, especially as it relates to electronics and toys that are sourced from China, Walmart's core business is thriving in regard to grocery and essential home items, which make up nearly 60% of its sales. Thanks to its pricing power and omnichannel strategy of successfully blending physical stores and digital platforms, Walmart's business model has aligned with what the current retail environment demands for consumer needs. In contrast, Target has been more exposed to discretionary categories like apparel and non-essential home goods that are struggling amid higher tariffs and interest rate pressures. Target's digital presence has also lagged in comparison to Walmart, hurting its ability to scale advertising and third-party marketplace revenue. Furthermore, analysts expect Target to raise its prices more aggressively than Walmart to offset tariff costs. Regarding their stock performance this year, Walmart's gains of +11% have topped the broader market and e-commerce leader Amazon's +5% while Target shares are down a dismal 22%. TGT & WMT Valuation Comparison Despite Walmart's competitive advantage in the current economic cycle, Target's valuation is far more appealing. To that point, both trade under the preferred level of less than 2X sales, but Target stock trades at 13.7X forward earnings, offering a steep discount to the benchmark S&P 500's 24.6X and Walmart's 38.4X. It's also noteworthy that Target stock is trading noticeably below its decade-long high of 30.4X forward earnings and offers a nice discount to its median of 15.7X during this period. Walmart, on the other hand, is near its decade peaks in this regard. TGT & WMT Dividend Comparison While both of these prestigious retail stocks are considered Dividend Kings, raising their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years, Target also stands out in terms of the value it offers to shareholders with a very generous 4.43% annual dividend yield that impressively tops Walmart's 0.94% and the S&P 500's 1.15% average. Conclusion & Final Thoughts Long-term investors may certainly be more compelled by Target's stock at the moment, with TGT landing a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Still, Walmart's near-term outlook is more compelling and has started to justify paying a premium for its stock, with WMT sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Ultimately, the decision of which retail stock may be the better investment in the portfolio comes down to whether investors want to bet on Target's value for the long-term or Walmart's growth and ability to offer defensive safety at the moment.
