Heading into today, shares of the online crafts marketplace had gained 27.17% over the past month, outpacing the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 4.97% and the S&P 500's gain of 1.18% in that time.
Investors will be hoping for strength from ETSY as it approaches its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect ETSY to post earnings of $0.13 per share.

Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $0.70 per share and revenue of $792.34 million. These totals would mark changes of +14.75% and +31.25%, respectively, from last year.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for ETSY. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.
