On October 11, 2023, Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) received a reduction in its price target from equities research analysts at Jefferies Financial Group. According to a research report issued by FlyOnTheWall, the price target was lowered from $70.00 to $50.00. This revision indicates a potential downside of 22.53% from the company’s previous close.

During trading hours on Tuesday, NASDAQ ETSY saw an increase of $1.16 and reached a trading price of $64.54. Approximately 1,168,891 shares of the stock were traded, as compared to its average volume of 3,309,753 shares. The stock’s 50-day simple moving average stands at $71.45 while the two-hundred day simple moving average is at $86.50.

Over the past year, Etsy has experienced a range between a low of $61.22 and a high of $149.91. Currently, the company holds a market cap of $7.94 billion with a price-to-earnings ratio of -10.99 and a beta value of 2.04.

In terms of institutional investors, there have been recent transactions involving shares of ETSY in various portfolios. For instance, OLD Mission Capital LLC purchased new stakes in Etsy during the fourth quarter with an approximate value of $25,000. Similarly, First Capital Advisors Group LLC acquired positions in the second quarter estimated at around $25,000.

Valley National Advisers Inc., on the other hand, raised its stake in Etsy by 129.5% during the first quarter and currently owns 257 shares valued at approximately $26,000 after purchasing an additional 145 shares during that period.

Spire Wealth Management also increased its stake in Etsy by 184.1% during the first quarter and now owns 233 shares valued at around $26,000 after purchasing an additional 151 shares.

Additionally, ICA Group Wealth Management LLC purchased a new position in Etsy during the fourth quarter valued at $28,000. As of now, 92.98% of the company’s stock is owned by hedge funds and other institutional investors.

Etsy last released its quarterly earnings data on Wednesday, August 2nd. The specialty retailer reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.83 for the quarter, surpassing the consensus estimate of $0.41 by $0.42. The firm generated revenue amounting to $628.88 million for the same period, exceeding the consensus estimate of $621.87 million.

Currently, sell-side analysts predict that Etsy will post EPS of 2.73 for the current fiscal year.

In conclusion, with Jefferies Financial Group reducing Etsy’s price target and the recent fluctuations in trading prices along with institutional transactions, the future outlook for this specialty retailer remains uncertain. Potential investors should carefully consider these factors before making any investment decisions regarding Etsy stock.
