Key Factors to Note

Etsy’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its core business. ETSY’s core marketplace might have driven its gross merchandise sales.

ETSY is consistently working toward expanding its product offerings to deliver an enhanced customer experience. This is expected to have contributed well to its top-line growth in the quarter under review.

Etsy has a strong active buyer base in the United States and the U.K. This is likely to have continued supporting the soon to-be-reported quarter’s performance.

Increasing investments in marketing to acquire buyers and retain the existing ones are anticipated to have remained tailwinds.

Growth in sellers’ unique collection of handicraft items and personalized products on the Etsy platform is expected to have continued driving the buyer base in the underlined quarter.

Rising investment in core Etsy and subsidiaries, such as Reverb, Depop and Elo7 are anticipated to get reflected in the to-be-reported results.

Expanding global footprint of Etsy Payments, and strong momentum across Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads is likely to have remained other positives in the quarter under discussion.

Etsy’s go-to-market strategy, recommendation features, better shipping options, conversion rate optimization, online search and checkout process optimization, and expanding app usage are likely to have remained tailwinds.

However, volatile global macroeconomic conditions due to the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war might have continued affecting consumer spending. This is expected to have remained a headwind for Etsy and its subsidiaries Depop and Reverb.

Also, the impact of global supply chain and logistics challenges might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Intensifying competition in the e-commerce market is expected to have remained a concern for Etsy’s market position in the to-be-reported quarter.
