Yet Wall Street may be underestimating the long term tailwinds brought upon by the pandemic, as ETSY has benefited from a dramatic boost to its name brand unlike no other. In spite of the post-earnings drop, ETSY is still producing gobs of cash and has strategically positioned itself to take on the global e-commerce market.

If one zooms out and takes a longer term lens, they might find that stocks can experience great volatility around earnings even if they are still trending up longer term.

ETSY was able to become an incredible marketplace on its own. Elo7 will benefit from ETSY’s investment.\nTogether, these platforms position ETSY to become more than just a niche e-commerce marketplace: ETSY is set to become a legitimate e-commerce challenger to the likes of Amazon and Shopify(NYSE:SHOP).\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9c07c53d66c2bbefa348455469ed8f34\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"677\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">(Investor Presentation)\nIs ETSY Stock A Buy, Sell, Or Hold?\nAs of recent prices, ETSY is trading at 12.9x trailing sales and 55x earnings. Net income is likely held back due to accelerated investment in sales &amp; marketing. When one wants to buy something on Etsy.com, the search results are much better on that website itself, as opposed to Google. That’s why it makes sense for ETSY to invest so aggressively in sales &amp; marketing so people know about Etsy in the first place. At some point, I expect ETSY to scale back sales &amp; marketing and just let the cash flow to the bottomline.\nThe stock might not look so cheap right now, but this is a cash cow which I can see returning to 20+% growth next year and beyond. For what it’s worth, Wall Street analysts expect ETSY to maintain robust growth rates through 2025:\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f67eafd008c1ce7321559d34fdff053b\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"331\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">(Seeking Alpha)\nI expect ETSY to be able to drive strong operating leverage as it eventually scales back its reliance on sales &amp; marketing spend. I expect the company to be able to eventually earn 35% net margins. I anticipate a 30x 2025 earnings multiple, which based on 35% long term margins, suggests a 10.5x price to sales multiple. That represents roughly 110% upside through 2025 - a compounded annual return of around 20%. There may be substantial upside surprise potential to that projection, as ETSY is already earning 20+% net margins and may be able to sustain elevated growth rates for a longer period of time. I rate shares a strong buy with a high likelihood of outperforming the market for many years.\nRisks\n<ul>\n <li>The e-commerce market is highly competitive.

While the current valuation might not make undervaluation immediately apparent, the high profitability and potential for operating leverage suggests that if ETSY can keep up robust growth rates, then it should produce returns far outpacing the broader market.
