The analysis projects Shopify's stock price for the end of 2026, building on fiscal year 2027 estimated earnings per share (EPS) of $2.32, a significant increase from the $1.45 estimated for 2025. The current forward Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio for Shopify stands at approximately 97, which is highlighted as a super premium valuation, nearly five times the S&P 500 average. Despite this, Shopify is considered an above-average stock, justifying a premium. The analysis presents several scenarios for the 2026 price target based on potential changes in the forward P/E multiple, while keeping the 2027 EPS constant. If the forward P/E remains at its current 96.81, the stock price could reach $224.60. However, the analyst anticipates a decline in the P/E multiple due to expected consumer spending headwinds in 2026, which could impact the company's profitability and profit margins, negatively affecting investor sentiment. Alternative scenarios include a stock price of $174.00 if the P/E drops to 75, a fall to $139.20 if the P/E declines to 60, and a more significant drop to $116.00 if the P/E reaches 50. The analyst's most likely outcome for 2026 is a stock price in the range of $175 to $190 per share, implying a bullish trend with an understanding of potential downside risks given the current elevated valuation. Investors with an above-average risk tolerance are advised to consider this stock due to inherent volatility associated with high premium valuations.
