The price target implies a 22 times 2027E enterprise value to gross profit multiple, a premium to the software peer group average of 18.1x. Analyst Tal Liani said Shopify Inc.'s (NASDAQ:SHOP) premium is justified because of the company's faster revenue growth expectations. Bank of America expects the company's revenue to increase 28.3% in 2026 and 24% in 2027, both above the average growth expected for its peers.
Analysts are debating whether AI could weaken Shopify Inc.'s (NASDAQ:SHOP) role in the commerce stack by moving discovery and transactions to AI-native interfaces. The firm believes these concerns about a possible "platform bypass" have contributed to the stock's decline year-to-date, which has created "an attractive entry point."
The analyst pointed out that "as discovery shifts to agentic interfaces, value accrues to the transaction and infrastructure layers, where Shopify is deeply embedded."
