Etsy faces challenges including stagnating active buyers at 95.46 million and flat earnings per share, leading analysts to predict stalled revenue growth [1]. This raises concerns about future performance despite a seemingly attractive valuation [1]. Recent news has focused on the impact of increased tariffs on Chinese imports; while some sources suggest Etsy could benefit from reduced competition [5], others predict negative impacts on sales and profits due to increased costs for sellers and broader economic concerns [2], [4], [6]. A stock price decline of 5.5% [2] and 8.24% [4] has been attributed to these tariff announcements and broader market anxieties. Long-term performance hinges on whether the potential advantage against Chinese competitors outweighs the general economic downturn and its impact on consumer spending. The company's previous three-year performance has been poor, marked by a 63% stock decline [3].
