Bank of America Raises Etsy Price Target to $105 Following Upgrade
Yahoo Finance ·
Shares of Etsy climbed on Thursday as Bank of America upgraded the e-commerce platform to Buy and raised its price target to $105 from $88. The new target implies an upside of approximately 30 percent compared to Wednesday's closing price. Analyst Michael McGovern noted that structural improvements driven by new leadership could help the company return to mid-single-digit gross merchandise sales growth. BofA elevated its fiscal 2027 gross merchandise sales growth forecast to 4.5 percent from 3.0 percent, while projecting EBITDA of $912 million, topping the Street consensus of $899 million. Additionally, the divestiture of Depop provides about $1 billion in capital-return flexibility. However, execution risks remain, as any failure by management to sustain growth could pressure the stock after its 45 percent year-to-date gain.

Bank of America upgraded its investment rating on Etsy (ETSY) to Buy and raised its price target from $88 to $105. The analysis that recent growth will transition into structural growth rather than a temporary rebound drove the stock price higher. Investors should closely watch management's strategy execution and the sustainability of Gross Merchandise Sales (GMS).
상승 영향
- E-commerce — Expectations for structural growth were highlighted as Bank of America raised Etsy's price target to $105 and issued a Buy rating.
하락 영향
- E-commerce — There is a significant correction risk if GMS growth slows down due to management's lack of execution while the stock is up 45% year-to-date.
DYAX 전담 분석
BofA raised its 2027 GMS growth rate forecast for Etsy from 3.0% to 4.5% and set its EBITDA estimate at $912 million, higher than the market consensus. The approximately $1 billion in capital secured from the Depop sale is expected to have a positive impact on shareholder returns.
The bullish scenario is GMS growth settling into the mid-single digits driven by search feature improvements and AI adoption, while the bearish scenario is the stock price, up 45% year-to-date, being exposed to high volatility due to management execution failure. Average Order Value (AOV) and marketing efficiency should be monitored as key metrics.
