Shares of Shopify Inc. surged more than 12% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the e-commerce platform delivered stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results, issued robust first-quarter revenue guidance, and unveiled a $2 billion share repurchase program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Shopify reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.57, comfortably beating analysts\u2019 expectations of $0.51. Revenue climbed 31% year-on-year to $3.67 billion, exceeding the consensus forecast of $3.59 billion. The performance marked Shopify\u2019s eleventh consecutive quarter of at least 25% revenue growth, excluding its logistics business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c2025 was Shopify at full throttle\u2014driving compounding growth while laying the rails for the new era of AI commerce,\u201d said Shopify President Harley Finkelstein. The strong finish capped a solid year for the company, with full-year 2025 revenue reaching $11.56 billion, up 30% from 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Profitability metrics also impressed investors. Shopify generated $715 million in free cash flow during the quarter, translating into a free cash flow margin of 19%. Gross merchandise volume (GMV) rose 31% to $123.84 billion in Q4, underscoring continued momentum across the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chief Financial Officer Jeff Hoffmeister emphasized the company\u2019s ability to balance rapid growth with disciplined cash generation. \u201cWe closed Q4 with strong top-line growth and disciplined cash generation, with revenue up 31% year-over-year and a 19% free cash flow margin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, Shopify offered an upbeat outlook for the first quarter of 2026. The company expects revenue to grow at a low-thirties percentage rate year-on-year, broadly in line with Q4\u2019s pace and well above the analyst consensus estimate of a 25.2% increase, according to LSEG data. Shopify also forecast a free cash flow margin in the low-to-mid teens for Q1, slightly below the same period last year but still reflecting healthy cash generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The combination of an earnings beat, strong forward guidance, and a sizable share buyback reinforced investor confidence in Shopify\u2019s growth trajectory, fueling the sharp rally in its shares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
