Did ETSY Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Etsy delivered a convincing third-quarter beat on Wednesday, with earnings per share of $0.63 clearing the $0.52 consensus estimate by 21.11% and revenue of $678.03 million topping expectations by 3.18% as the marketplace platform posted 2.4% year-over-year top-line growth. The clearest engine behind the outperformance was Depop, Etsy's secondhand fashion marketplace, which generated $292.10 million in gross merchandise sales, up 39.4% year-over-year, with U.S. GMS surging 59% on improved buyer conversion and new user growth. That momentum is reshaping how the company allocates capital going forward, with management leaning into discretionary brand marketing at Depop, which compressed consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin by 230 basis points to 25.4%. The structural picture is complicated by the June 2025 sale of Reverb, which strips a meaningful contribution from prior-year comparisons. For Q4 2025, Etsy guided consolidated GMS of $3.50 billion to $3.65 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 24%, reflecting continued Depop investment even as the core Etsy marketplace holds profitability near 30%. Etsy's stock has gained roughly 55.82% over the past twelve months heading into the print.

Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q4 2025, Etsy guides consolidated GMS of $3.5B–$3.65B, take rate of approximately 24.5%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 24%. At the midpoint, Q4 consolidated GMS would represent further sequential improvement in the combined Etsy marketplace and Depop year-over-year growth rate. The lower Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance reflects stable, strong profitability for the Etsy marketplace paired with a significant sequential increase in discretionary brand marketing investment at Depop, driven by management's excitement about the apparel resale market opportunity and Depop's encouraging momentum. Guidance assumes currency exchange rates remain unchanged at current levels.
