Shopify (TSX.SHOP:DOWN) - Buy it Now!


question marks written reminders tickets

To say that Shopify (TSX:SHOP)(NYSE:SHOP) stock has had a less-than-ideal start to 2022 would be an understatement. The broad tech sector selloff has sustained for several months, resulting in a significant pullback in the tech giant’s performance on the TSX. The release of Shopify’s fourth-quarter earnings report for fiscal 2021 resulted in even worse news.

Shopify stock declined by a massive 16% in one day of trading after the company released its Q4 2021 and full-year earnings report. Things have not improved since then for the ecommerce giant. At writing, Shopify stock is down by 48.51% year to date. All the pandemic-fueled gains posted by the tech company appear to have been erased.

Is Shopify stock an undervalued stock that you should buy right now, or should you avoid it at all costs?

Today, I will discuss the situation with Shopify stock to help you determine whether it might be worth adding to your portfolio at its current levels.

Rising rates and shrinking growth rate

Shopify stock has been growing as a company regardless of its performance on the stock market. Inflation rates have been rising at alarming rates for several months, and that has added the risk of interest rate hikes that could impact investor returns. Growth stocks are an area for many investors to avoid due to the volatile conditions.

The conditions impacting the broader market are seeping into Shopify stock’s performance as well. One of the top growth stocks on the TSX, Shopify has managed to provide two- or three-fold returns to its investors in a matter of a few quarters. As such, it should not be a surprise to see it shed such a significant portion of its value in a similar timeframe.

Shopify stock went through a significant boom with the onset of COVID-19, accelerating the surge in demand for its services. The normalization of the global health crisis was bound to slow down the company’s meteoric growth. Its growth appears to be slowing down to more reasonable levels.

Foolish takeaway

What could make Shopify stock a value opportunity, despite the e-commerce giant’s growth slowing down and its declining performance on the stock market? That would be the performance and growth potential of the underlying business itself.

The Canadian e-commerce giant is well on its way to widening its moat in the industry, as it continues to expand its geographical presence. Shopify is already the second-largest e-commerce company south of the border, and it has its fingers in various international markets.

Shopify’s addressable market is growing alongside its expansion. Analysts tracking the company expect its revenue to rise by 31% to reach the US$7.71 billion mark this year and hit US$10.30 billion by 2023.

At writing, Shopify stock is down by over 62% from its all-time high valuation. It could be a value opportunity for growth-seeking investors at these discounted levels.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...

TC Energy TC Energy (TSX:TRP)(NYSE:TRP) has raised its dividend in each of the past 22 years, and investors should see the distribution continue to grow at a steady pace. The energy infrastructure giant operates natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, and power-generation facilities in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. The $28 billion capital program is largely focused on expanding the natural gas pipeline business, which already boasts 93,000 km of infrastructure.

In Canada, TC Energy is building the Coastal GasLink pi...
