Shopify Inc. (SHOP) shares rose more than 5% during Thursday’s session after RBC Capital Markets reiterated its Outperform rating and raised its price target to $1,000 per share – one of the high Street and the titles of the first four-digit price target.
Analyst Mark Mahaney acknowledges that Shopify’s share price has doubled in the year to date, but he believes that investors are still under-assessment of the company’s total addressable market, take its potential rate, and operating margin. In addition, it is estimated that the purchasing habits of consumers have changed definitively in favour of the e-commerce throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
These feelings are similar to those of other, less optimistic analysts. Earlier this week, Piper Sandler’s Brent Bracelin upgraded Shopify stock to overweight with a $843 price target, the appeal of Shopify is one of the best placed digital commercial beneficiaries of the next decade. He believes that revenue is on the point of a quadruple to $ 12 billion by 2025.

The relative strength index (RSI) has increased slightly in overbought territory with a reading of 71.06, but the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) in histogram MACD has a bullish cross, which may signal the beginning of a new upward trend. These indicators suggest a consolidation before a move higher.
