Etsy ($ETSY)
Recent News
Etsy saw an 8% drop in premarket trading after falling short of Wall Street expectations for its holiday quarter revenue and gross merchandise sales. The weak results point to softer consumer spending on gifts and handcrafted items.
Key Points
Although revenue disappointed, Etsy did better than expected on earnings, reporting $1.03 per share (versus the $0.93 estimate).
Etsy faces mounting pressure from competitors, including Amazon and Temu, along with challenges from inflation.
Looking ahead, the company expects a 6.8% decline in gross merchandise sales for Q1 2025.
Short-Term Levels to Watch
Upside: Above $53.85
Downside: Below $51.44
Etsy’s results reflect current economic headwinds, but its stronger-than-expected earnings suggest potential resilience. Keep an eye on consumer sentiment and competition in the e-commerce space.

The luxury homebuilder reported Q1 revenue of $1.85 billion, narrowly missing expectations of $1.9 billion and marking a decline from $1.94 billion year-over-year.
Key Points
Higher interest rates and a cooling housing market are weighing on revenues and margins.
Despite these challenges, Toll Brothers remains a prominent player in the housing space, which could benefit if economic conditions improve.
Short-Term Levels to Watch
Upside: Above $116.50
Downside: Below $114.12
Toll Brothers has work to do in addressing the challenges of rising rates, but its stature in the housing market makes it a company to monitor as the sector evolves.

Key Points
Bumble is phasing out smaller platforms like Fruitz and Official to channel its resources toward the flagship app.
New features, including ID verification and AI-driven tools, aim to address user safety and engagement concerns.
With declining user engagement and average revenue per user, Bumble’s "friends and community" feature offers a potential path to revitalize growth.
Short-Term Levels to Watch
Upside: Above $6.71
Downside: Below $6.53
Bumble faces challenges, but its pivot toward innovation and new features could improve its long-term prospects.
