Etsy, Inc. (ETSY - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2020 results on Oct 28.
The company’s Marketplace platform, which allows merchants to list and sell their unique and creative products belonging to categories like homewares and home furnishings, jewelry and personal accessories, apparel, craft supplies, paper and party supplies, and beauty and personal care, is likely to have aided its third-quarter performance.
Moreover, this platform, which has emerged as the cash cow of the company, is expected to have sustained its momentum during the coronavirus-hit third quarter on the back of facilities such as product and inventory management, processing of orders and payments, and building customer relationships that are provided to the merchants.
In second-quarter 2020, Marketplace revenues were $332.03 million (77.4% of total revenues), which went up 145.6% from the year-ago quarter.This was driven by strong momentum across buyers.
We expect the trend to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter on the back of Etsy’s deepening focus on the enhancement of the Marketplace platform.
For the third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Marketplace revenues is projected at $304 million, indicating an improvement of 115.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
