3 Reasons Etsy Stock Is a Top E-Commerce Buy Right Now

It's been an unpleasant time to be an Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) shareholder, to put it mildly. Lapping the financial results from year-one of the pandemic was never going to be easy -- Etsy was more than doubling in size in 2020 through early 2021 -- but I didn't expect a round-trip that would erase nearly all of the stock's gains since the first half of 2020. Growth in the first quarter of 2022 was anemic compared to a year ago, a number of Etsy sellers are voicing displeasure with another take-rate increase on sales, and Etsy may have overpaid for its acquisitions of Depop and Elo7 last summer, when e-commerce and technology company valuations were at peak euphoria.
