Very low compared to what?

1 comments

In the specific case of Shopify, stock value is 20% of what it was a year ago, and 80% of what it was a month ago. Isn't that what's relevant?
Shopify's explosive stock growth always struck me as kind of scammy - or to be more charitable, the results of a very well targeted marketing campaign. It's back to where it should be - along the way, VTEX and BigCommerce jumped on the IPO train at exactly the wrong time. Everyone was sniffing their own farts in that sector for the last two years. Glad to see it come back down to earth.
Not when the discussion in this sub-thread was about the "tech sector". (And it's not obvious if the valuation of Shopify is "very low".)
