Shopify Stock Price: Shopify stock soared 20% on Wednesday. The rally came after the company posted stronger-than-expected Q2 results. It also offered a positive outlook for the next quarter.
According to LSEG estimates, here’s how Shopify performed:
- Adjusted earnings per share were 35 cents. Analysts had expected just 29 cents.
- Revenue hit $2.68 billion, beating the $2.55 billion forecast.
Year-over-year, Q2 revenue jumped by 31%. That’s a solid acceleration from last year, when growth was closer to 20%.
Shopify also gave a strong outlook for the third quarter. The company expects its revenue to grow by a “mid-to-high twenties” percentage year over year.

That’s better than the 21.7% growth analysts predicted, according to StreetAccount.
This positive guidance shows Shopify is handling trade tensions under President Donald Trump better than expected.
Last quarter, the company did mention concerns about economic uncertainty. But it also said most merchants weren’t seeing major price hikes from tariffs.
Shopify’s CFO Jeff Hoffmeister told investors that the company had expected some impact from tariffs. But in the end, that impact never showed up.
Meanwhile, online shopping giants like Amazon and eBay also posted strong revenue growth last week.
This suggests that despite worries about tariffs and higher prices, consumers are still spending confidently.
According to CFO Jeff Hoffmeister, Shopify hasn’t seen any drop in demand from the U.S. market.

Whether it’s incoming, outgoing, or local orders — everything remained steady. In fact, demand actually picked up in the second quarter.
He also noted that many sellers on Shopify have raised their prices. Even so, shoppers aren’t rushing to buy early or stock up out of tariff concerns.
There’s no sign that customers are changing their buying habits because of it.
Shopify isn’t seeing any slowdown from tariffs so far. That includes sales data through early August. President Harley Finkelstein shared this in a CNBC interview on Squawk on the Street.
He said the millions of businesses using Shopify are performing very well.
The company’s gross merchandise sales also came in stronger than expected. GMS — the total value of products sold on Shopify — jumped 29% year over year.
It reached $87.8 billion. Analysts had predicted $81.5 billion, according to StreetAccount.
Shopify now expects its operating expenses to be around 38% to 39% of revenue. That’s slightly lower than last quarter’s estimate of 39% to 40%.
The company is also making big moves in artificial intelligence. It’s investing heavily to bring smarter tools to its platform. The goal is to help merchants grow and stay on Shopify longer.
Back in May, Shopify launched an “AI store builder.” It lets users create online stores using just a few keywords.
On Tuesday, the company introduced more AI tools. These are designed to support shopping through AI-powered assistants.
Shopify executives say their efforts are starting to pay off.
“We’re expanding what our platform can do. We’re launching new products. And we’re building for the future of commerce,” said CFO Jeff Hoffmeister.
He believes Shopify is now appealing to more types of businesses than ever before.
