Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY) has become one of the de facto stock market winners from the spread of the coronavirus. On top of the company being a leading eCommerce portal for countless numbers of online sellers, Etsy keeps getting referenced for its great customized masks.
After Etsy reported earnings, the initial reaction was a “sell the news” trade. The reason and logic is simple enough – its stock had surged by more than 300% from the panic selling lows in March. Analysts on Wall Street have by and large pointed out that the company beat on earnings and beat on revenues.
The selling pressure appears to be tied to more decelerating growth than based on the actual numbers. Etsy was also price for perfection at about 11 times revenue expectations for this year with sales growth expected to be in the low-double-digits in 2021.
