Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 57% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 8, 2025
Shopify is a well-liked name in online shopping. The price trend has been strong, showing steady interest from buyers. A recent update that OpenAI chose Shopify for checkout could make buying faster and lift sales for its stores. The stock is not cheap, but dips have often been met by new buyers as its sales tools and payments grow. For the next few months, rising use of Shopify and add-on services could keep momentum.
Primary drivers
- Strong price trend signals steady buying interest over recent weeks and days
- OpenAI choosing Shopify checkout could lift store conversion and trust
- Growing online sales and payments can improve revenue and profit scale
- Buy on pullbacks has worked as buyers step in after short-term dips
How it played out
SHOP: target was not reached
Lyra published SHOP at $165.11 on 2025-10-08 with expected growth of 18%. The thesis pointed to a strong price trend, steady buying interest, Shopify checkout through OpenAI, growth in online sales and payments, and buyers stepping in after short-term dips.
Inside the window, SHOP rose to a peak of $182.19 on 2025-10-29, a 10.3% gain. That stayed below the $194.83 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended at $168.45 on 2026-01-06. The thesis partly played out: direction was right, but the move did not reach the published goal.
