Etsy's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Looking into the current session, Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) shares are trading at $47.84, after a 1.71% spike. Moreover, over the past month, the stock increased by 4.15%, but in the past year, fell by 25.30%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Etsy P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 40.14 in the Broadline Retail industry, Etsy Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 34.08. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747764020_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

What Happened:&nbsp;As a part of&nbsp;Unlock8, a national campaign led&nbsp;by&nbsp;Code.org&nbsp;and&nbsp;CSforALL, the CEOs have come together to sign an <a href="https://csforall.org/unlock8/open-letter?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social-media-organic&amp;utm_campaign=unlock8">open letter</a>. The campaign&#8217;s goal is&nbsp;to advocate for policy solutions&nbsp;that ensure every student has&nbsp;access to the foundational skills&nbsp;needed in an AI-enabled world. 
The signatories include&nbsp;Microsoft&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEO Satya Nadella,&nbsp;Dell CEO (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>) Michael Dell, Etsy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) CEO Josh Silverman, AMD (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su, Palantir CEO (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) Alex Karp, Uber&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) CEO Dara Khosrowshahi and many others.

Loop Capital Maintains Sell on Etsy, Lowers Price Target to $37

Guggenheim analysts on Thursday lowered their price target on Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) from $70 to $50 following the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45100079/etsy-q1-revenue-beat-active-buyers-decline-and-more">Q1 earnings report.</a>
What To Know: Lead analyst Steven Forbes acknowledged that Etsy's first-quarter operating results broadly exceeded expectations but suggested this upside was offset by a gross margin miss and what he called "broad-based expense control," which ultimately muted the quality of the beat.
 Management expects gross merchandise sales (GMS) to fall 7–8% year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA margins around 25%, below the analyst&#8217;s prior assumptions. Forbes remarked that new buyer trends remained "disappointing" and the decline in core marketplace performance suggests a weakening fundamental backdrop. Despite management&#8217;s intention to ramp up engagement-focused investments and spending in newer marketing and loyalty initiatives, Guggenheim revised its 2025–2026 EBITDA estimates down by 7–9%, citing reduced operating leverage and persistent ROI concerns.
Forbes highlighted management's continued push into performance marketing, with spending up ~20% in first-quarter and a 46% increase in social media marketing but noted that return on investment concerns remain unresolved. He also pointed to rising product development and compute costs related to machine learning and free shipping programs as incremental pressures on the expense line.
While Guggenheim maintained its Buy rating, the revised outlook reflects tempered expectations, a more cautious stance on margin trends and concern over execution risk as Etsy navigates a period of slower buyer growth and heavier reinvestment.
ETSY Price Action: Etsy shares were down 1.79% at $42.70 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on Etsy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>).
And retail traders should know.
We noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga.
Whether these are institutions or just wealthy individuals, we don't know. But when something this big happens with ETSY, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen.
So how do we know what these investors just did?
