Looking at Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating, ETSY has a Hold rating with a score of 3.06 out of 5. The company received A in the prospect of profitability and momentum, but the rating was dragged down due to a D+ in revisions and a D grade in valuation and growth.

Seeking Alpha analyst Gary Alexander rated the stock as Sell, highlighting that the company faces headwinds from a tougher macro environment, increased competition, and a significant debt load, making recovery unlikely soon.

“Aggressive marketing spend has failed to reverse shrinking buyer and seller bases, leading to deteriorating profitability and margin compression,” added Alexander.

Seeking Alpha analysts recommended Sell rating for ETSY.
