In this thread I am going to analyze the stocks of my portfolio "New Sector", which is an investible exchange-traded wikifolio certificate soon to be issued on the Stuttgart stock exchange: New Sector | wikifolio.com
This is the performance of my portfolio so far:
Stock Analysis Number 1: Shopify
Description of the business:
Shopify is the leading cloud-based, multi-channel commerce platform. Shopify builds web- and mobile-based software and lets merchants easily set up online storefronts that are rich with retail functionality. Merchants use their software to run their business across all of their sales channels, including web and mobile storefronts, physical retail locations, social media storefronts, and marketplaces.
CEO of the business:
Tobias Lütke co-founded Shopify in September 2004. Mr. Lütke has served as Shopify's Chief Executive Officer since April 2008. Prior to that, Mr. Lütke acted as Shopify's Chief Technology Officer between September 2004 and April 2008. Mr. Lütke worked on the core team of the Ruby on Rails framework and has created many popular open source libraries such as Active Merchant. Mr. Lütke also serves as Chair of Shopify's Board of Directors.
Sales Growth:
Shopify's 5 year sales growth is 84.46 %, which is a convincing percentage compared to the industry average of 11.55 %.
Receivable Turnover:
Shopify is extremely effective in collecting its receivables, which is clearly displayed by the receivable turnover ratio of 44.49, compared to the industry average of 8.21.
Price to Book Ratio:
Shopify's Price to Book Ratio is fairly high with 17.27 compared to the industry average of 6.12, which implies high, expected rates of return on equity.
Operating Expenses
From 2017 to 2018, Shopify's selling/general/administrative expenses have increased from 289.02 million $ to 451.10 million $, while the expenses for research & development have risen from 131.04 million $ to 225.71 million $. These investments will probably play a major part in contributing to the enhancement of Shopify's competitive edge
Revenue
From 2017 to 2018, Shopify managed to grow its revenue from 673.30 million $ to 1073.23 million %, which is an increase of approximately 59 %. Shopify's business model has two revenue streams: a recurring subscription component which they call subscription solutions, and a merchant success-based component which they call merchant solutions.
In terms of subscriptions solutions, Shopify generates subscription solutions revenues principally through the sale of subscriptions to Shopify's platform. In terms of merchant solutions, Shopify principally generates merchant solutions revenues from payment processing fees from Shopify Payments. In addition to payment processing fees from Shopify Payments, they also generate merchant solutions revenue from transaction fees, Shopify Shipping, Shopify Capital, referral fees from partners, and sales of point-of-sale hardware.
