11:04 ET -- Shopify's 2Q bar looks beatable, says CIBC's Todd Coupland, with positive trends across the board setting the stage for growth. The analyst says the ecommerce platform "should meet or beat consensus and guide constructively for 3Q," backed by momentum in its payments segment, new merchant additions, European growth and CIBC alternative data. Coupland also notes that Shopify Plus traffic was up 28% in 2Q versus just over 20% last quarter, "a positive read-through for gross merchandise volume versus FactSet's +28% Y/Y expectation." The stock might be down, trading 25% lower year-to-date, but "improving alt data, a beatable bar, and AI likely adding to upside rather than margin risk create a favorable risk/reward heading into the report."
