Shopify is positioning the fulfilment network as an answer to its earnings woes, but the venture will be costly. It never was easy, but it's harder today." Achieving two-day delivery will mean Shopify will need many warehouses in proximity at a time when such spaces are in high demand and often selling for a premium. She envisions Shopify offering one-day delivery coverage in the U.S. and enhancing return capabilities over the next three years, when she thinks fulfilment volumes will really begin to scale and Shopify will be able to handle progressively larger markets with broader needs. On an adjusted basis, Shopify says it earned 20 cents per diluted share in its most recent quarter, compared with an adjusted profit of US$2.01 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021. Analysts on average had expected an adjusted profit of 68 cents per share for the quarter and US$1.25 billion in revenue, according to financial markets data firm Refinitiv. The result compared with a profit of US$1.3 billion or US$9.94 per diluted share on US$988.6 million in revenue in the same quarter last year. Shopify will pay about 80 per cent of the purchase price in cash and 20 per cent in shares for the San Francisco-based business. "This is complicated stuff and this is stuff that is not easy to do, but that is sort of where Shopify shines," Finkelstein said, on a call with analysts. The company, which keeps its books in U.S. dollars, reported Thursday a first-quarter loss of US$1.5 billion or US$11.70 per diluted share on US$1.2 billion in revenue. The network, which includes a self-operated and leased warehouse in Atlanta, was meant to help merchants of all sizes access new warehousing and shipping opportunities and was seen as a natural progression for the company, which already helped companies manage sales and payments. Deliverr, along with other automation and logistics technology, will be used to build out a network of both Shopify-owned and third-party warehouses that can deliver packages in two days or less to more than 90 per cent of the U.S., said Harley Finkelstein, Shopify's president.

Shopify stock could have a slower rebound due to the high costs of the Shopify Fulfillment Network (SFN) coupled with the unknowns around the company's ...
I believe the growth in social commerce is key to Shopify re-accelerating revenue. Shopify may need more time, and for that reason it will remain as a low allocation in our portfolio, but we do believe the company has the right ingredients and warrants being in a top 5 position once the moving pieces come together. We won’t know for another three months how Shopify weathered Q2. Tech investors should always have a long-term horizon or the gains will not outweigh the losses, that is a fact, because timing is nearly impossible given the volatility in this sector. It’s possible that we have not seen the end to the investment that will be required. This year, the investment will be $3 billion if you factor the original statement of $1 billion per year plus the $2 billion Deliverr acquisition. In the meantime, the optics of slowing growth and rising expenses are temporarily pressuring Shopify’s multiple. The decline was driven by a ramp in R&D and sales and marketing expenses, coupled with the investments being made in SFN outlined above. During the Q1 2022 call, management stated that “the expectation [for SFN] is that scale will still be towards the back half of 2023 and into 2024, and we've always said that's where the unit economics really start to shift to favorable. However, with Shopify’s stock in the gutter, is now a good time to buy the company? Total sales increased 22% YoY to $1.2 billion, which was the slowest rate of growth since Shopify went public. This presents a predicament for Shopify’s stock if the market is uncertain of how SFN will perform. Essentially, it’s hard to model this because the return on the investments made in SFN will not appear until H2 2023 or early 2024.
Down over 75% from its all-time high, the stock has become a polarizing name in the market.
An investment in Shopify is an investment in small and medium-sized businesses -- and larger businesses to an extent too. But for risk-averse investors who are wary of potential headwinds in the e-commerce industry, it's perfectly fine to take a wait-and-see approach too. Not every retail sale is headed online, but for those who believe e-commerce will continue to grow its share of retail, that means an expanding market opportunity for companies in the industry. And it's true the company's growth is going to slow as we're seeing now -- first-quarter revenue was up 22% year over year, compared to 110% in the prior-year period. The reality is we don't know how the company's growth will recover or when management will be able to rein back spending to fuel that growth. And the best argument against an investment in Shopify is its valuation. Shopify stock deserved to fall because starting new businesses is harder during inflationary times and rising interest rates due to the increased cost of capital. While a service like Netflix is a discretionary expense, there's reason to argue Shopify is an enterprise staple -- like Adobe or Salesforce -- that thousands of business owners simply can't live without at this point. In this sense, Shopify doesn't face the same threats as, say, a fellow industry pioneer like Netflix, where a customer could get bored with its content and easily switch to a rival service. As compelling as the bull case is, there are also some powerful reasons to avoid investing in Shopify. In fact, even as Shopify stock fell between March 15 and April 14, the number of shares short increased from 3.51 million to 4.39 million. Filled with dancing, laughter, and history -- raising a Topo Chico mineral water in the heat of May is a nice reprieve from the scorching Texas sun. Shopify is a battleground stock for a reason.
