Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published October 2, 2025
Shopify is expanding its tools and adding AI features. A new link with OpenAI lets people buy directly inside ChatGPT, which can make shopping smoother and lift total sales on the platform. The trend is improving, though one sign still reads cautious, so adding on dips makes sense. Over the next 3 months, fast product updates and strong partners could help, while planned exits help manage competition and consumer risks.
Primary drivers
- Buying inside ChatGPT could make checkout easier and lift sales and orders
- Recent average price is rising, though some momentum signs are still soft
- Large app and partner network helps Shopify launch and grow faster
- Positive buzz can keep interest high and draw in more buyers over time
How it played out
SHOP: target was missed after a 22.3% peak gain
Lyra published SHOP at 148.91 on 2025-10-02 with 24% expected growth over the short term. The thesis pointed to buying inside ChatGPT, artificial intelligence features, a rising recent average price, Shopify's app and partner network, and positive buzz. It also said some momentum signs were still soft.
Inside the window, SHOP rose to 182.19 on 2025-10-29, a 22.3% peak gain. That stayed below the 184.65 target. The target was never reached. By 2025-12-31, the stock ended at 160.97. The thesis partly played out, but it missed the target.
What happened during the window
On 2025-11-04, Shopify reported third-quarter revenue of $2.844 billion and gross merchandise volume of $92 billion, while diluted EPS came in at 20 cents. The same report said Shopify expected fourth-quarter revenue to grow at a mid-to-high-twenties percentage rate.
