Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Tuesday, shares of Canada Goose Holdings Inc (Symbol: GOOS) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 29.4, after changing hands as low as $7.74 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 55.8. A bullish investor could look at GOOS's 29.4 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of GOOS shares:
Looking at the chart above, GOOS's low point in its 52 week range is $7.74 per share, with $15.11 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $7.75.

Company snapshot
Canada Goose:
Offers performance luxury apparel, including parkas, lightweight down jackets, rainwear, windwear, knitwear, footwear, and accessories, serving fall, winter, and spring seasons.
Generates revenue through a mix of direct-to-consumer sales (e-commerce and company-operated stores) and wholesale distribution to partners and retailers globally.
Targets affluent men, women, youth, and children across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and other international markets seeking premium outerwear and lifestyle products.
Canada Goose Holdings is a leading designer and manufacturer of luxury performance apparel with a global footprint and a diversified channel strategy.
What this transaction means for investors
Kessler’s purchase of luxury outerwear stock Canada Goose is certainly eye-catching. After just two quarters of buying the stock, Kessler has already made the luxury business its tenth-largest holding. Trading between 1 and 1.5 times sales in Q3 and Q4 when Kessler bought, Canada Goose is a reasonably priced luxury stock to consider.
However, the company recently reported Q3 earnings on Feb. 5th, and the market sent GOOS stock down over 10%. Canada Goose grew total sales by 14% and North American revenue by 20%, while delivering its fourth consecutive quarter of direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales growth. However, its margins and earnings remained weaker than expected. It will be interesting to see if Kessler buys the dip when we get Q1 data.
Personally, the cyclicality and volatility in apparel stocks typically scare me away from investing in them. However, Canada Goose’s luxury tilt -- and now discounted valuation at just 1.1 times sales and 9 times free cash flow -- makes it much more intriguing than most. Not only have its down-filled products remained resilient over time, but its “newness” (new product categories) sales have doubled year over year, suggesting that customer appetite for the brand extends beyond its traditional offerings.
If Canada Goose can rein in its expenses over time and maintain its premium branding, it could prove to be a steal for Kessler at today’s potential cyclical trough.

eBay Q3 Earnings & Revenues Surpass Estimates, Both Increase Y/Y

Booking Holdings BKNG reported third-quarter 2025 earnings of $99.5 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.6%. The figure increased 18.6% year over year.
Revenues of $9.01 billion beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.12% and increased 12.7% year over year and about 8% on a constant currency (cc) basis. The growth exceeded the high end of company guidance by 4 percentage points, in line with the outperformance on gross bookings.
Revenues as a percentage of gross bookings were 18.1%, down about 30 basis points year over year, primarily due to a higher mix of flight bookings and increased merchandising contra-revenues, partly related to prior-period bookings. The decline was partially offset by higher revenues from payments.
In the third quarter of 2025, BKNG benefited from its ongoing Connected Trip vision, stronger loyalty programs, expanded AI-driven features and increased direct bookings. Growth momentum was further supported by solid performance in Asia and sustained demand for alternative accommodations.
Booking Holdings Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
BKNG’s Q3 Top Line in Detail
Merchant revenues were $6.13 billion (68.1% of the total revenues), up 23.3% on a year-over-year basis.
Agency revenues were $2.57 billion (28.5% of the total revenues), down 6.7% year over year.
Advertising & Other revenues were $308 million (3.4% of the total revenues), up 14.5% year over year.
Third-quarter room nights of 323 million, up 8.2% year over year, surpassed the high end of guidance. Growth was driven by robust demand across all major regions, with the United States showing high single-digit acceleration led by strong outbound travel and continued momentum in the B2B segment.
Alternative accommodations continue to be a strong long-term growth driver. Listings rose to over 8.6 million, up about 10% year over year, with double-digit room night growth. Steady demand across regions and a broad mix of hotels, homes and unique stays strengthen Booking Holdings’ competitive position in this segment.
Booking Holdings saw Connected Trip transaction growth of mid-20% year over year in the third quarter, and these connected transactions represent a low double-digit percentage of Booking.com’s total transactions.
BKNG’s Q3 Operating Results
Marketing expense, which is a highly variable expense line, increased 8.8% year over year. Marketing expense as a percentage of gross bookings was 4.7% in the reported third quarter, slightly lower than the 5% recorded in the third quarter of 2024.
Marketing expense as a percentage of gross bookings served as a key source of operating leverage, driven by changes in traffic mix and lower brand marketing expenses as a percentage of total gross bookings. The company also maintained disciplined investments in social media channels, achieving attractive ROIs.
Third-quarter sales and other expenses as a percentage of gross bookings were 2.1%, slightly higher than 2% in the prior year, primarily driven by an increasing merchant mix resulting in higher payment expenses, partially offset by increased efficiencies in customer service.
Adjusted fixed operating expenses increased 10% year over year, or mid-single digits after normalizing for changes in FX. The year-over-year increase was impacted by increased cloud costs.
Personnel expenses increased year over year by 9% in the third quarter, primarily due to an increase in salary expenses, as well as increases in bonus expense accruals.
Adjusted EBITDA rose 15% year over year to approximately $4.2 billion, exceeding the high end of guidance by 6 percentage points, driven largely by stronger revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 110 basis points (bps) year over year to 47% in the reported quarter.
BKNG’s Q3 Balance Sheet
As of Sept. 30, 2025, the company’s cash and investments totaled $17.2 billion, down from $18.2 billion as of June 30, 2025. The decline primarily reflected a $2.4 billion reduction in Deferred Merchant Bookings and Other Current Liabilities.
Booking Holdings had $17 billion of total debt, down from $18.47 billion as of June 30, 2025.
Free cash flow was $1.4 billion compared with $3.1 billion reported in the previous quarter.
Booking Holdings’ Q4 & FY25 Guidance
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Room Night Growth is expected to be between 4% and 6%. Gross bookings are projected to grow 11-13%, benefiting from roughly two percentage points of uplift driven by higher flight ticket growth.
Fourth-quarter revenue growth is expected to be between 10% and 12%.
The company expects fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA between $2 billion and $2.1 billion, suggesting growth of 14% year over year at the high end.
For the full year 2025, BKNG anticipates Room Night Growth to increase by around 7%, while gross bookings are projected to grow between 11% and 12%.
The company expects revenue growth of approximately 12% and adjusted EBITDA to rise between 17% and 18% for 2025.
EBITDA margins are expected to expand by approximately 180 basis points year over year, exceeding the company’s earlier projection of about 125 basis points.
BKNG’s Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Currently, Booking Holdings carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Some better-ranked stocks in the broader Retail-Wholesale sector are Performance Food Group PFGC, Canada Goose GOOS and Expedia Group EXPE, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Wayfair Q3 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates, Both Increase Y/Y

Key Points
Bank results are telling a story of a healthy economy.
Shopify benefits when spending is strong.
Shopify has many growth drivers.
Economic indicators continue to confound the powers that be as they don't move in their typical lockstep. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is lowering interest rates because of high unemployment, but in the meantime, inflation has not been tamed, and this week, the big banks have been painting a rosy view of the economy as their earnings soar.
If the U.S. consumer remains strong and spending patterns are healthy, you can be confident that Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP) is reaping the benefits.

The other e-commerce giant
Although Amazon has a strong hold on U.S. e-commerce, Shopify may be the runner up to the retail powerhouse. You won't see its name on the list of top U.S. e-commerce retailers because it doesn't sell products to consumers; it sells e-commerce, and increasingly all types of commerce, solutions as a business-to-business company. However, Shopify's gross merchandise volume, or the amount of money it processes across its commerce empire, comes close to Amazon's stores and third-party sales figures: $87 billion versus $107 billion in the second quarter.
Shopify makes money from subscription fees and processing fees, so its revenue is much lower than that: $2.7 billion in the second quarter. However, it's growing quickly. Revenue increased 31% year over year, and that's been accelerating.
The company has many factors helping it achieve that kind of growth. E-commerce is still increasing as a percentage of retail sales, an organic growth driver, but it's also expanding to physical stores and a complete set of omnichannel shopping options. Shopify offers the gamut of different packages, including single services, and that more recent development opens it up to a larger group of clients, including enterprise clients like Starbucks and Canada Goose. Entrepreneurship is on the rise, and that's Shopify's sweet spot.
It's also expanding internationally. Although Shopify is the largest e-commerce software platform in the U.S., it has major international competition from larger companies like WooCommerce and Squarespace, and it's launching new services in more global locations to grab greater market share.
Shopify stock is climbing
Shopify stock is already up about 47% this year, but if the banks are telling a story of the overall economy, Shopify is likely to demonstrate excellent performance when it reports third-quarter results on Nov. 4.
But whether or not it jumps in early November, which looks likely right now, it has a long growth runway, and the best time to invest is as soon as you can.

TJX's Q2 Earnings and Sales Beat Estimates, Comparable Sales Up 4%

Key Points
Shopify's revenue growth is accelerating.
The company is adding new features for AI tools, advertising, and a consumer shopping app.
The stock trades at a wildly expensive valuation today.
Investors in Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP) have gone on a wild ride in the last five years. The e-commerce software and payments platform saw surging growth and a meteoric rise in its stock price during the COVID-19 pandemic before crashing down to earth in 2022. Shares went from close to $170 to below $30 in less than two years. Now, the stock is rising again, hitting recent highs of over $150 after positing strong growth yet again in the second quarter of 2025.
But still, Shopify shareholders remain underwater if they bought at most points in 2021. Does that mean the stock is a buy today after its recent post-earnings pop?

Accelerating global growth
Even though inflation has come down and consumer spending growth has slowed in the United States, Shopify's revenue growth is accelerating. It is doing so by gaining market share of e-commerce and retail spending in the United States while expanding to new markets such as Europe. Last quarter, revenue grew 31% year over year to $2.68 billion, compared to 21% growth in the year-ago period. Payment volume in Europe -- which correlates closely to revenue -- grew 42% and greatly outpaced overall sales.
Why are more and more businesses such as Starbucks and Canada Goose adopting Shopify's software tools? Because of its wide breadth of products that help grow their businesses, outsourcing an important function (having your own online storefront) to a trusted third party. Not every sale is going to come from Amazon, while some companies don't want to sell on broad-based marketplaces at all. Shopify's tools help businesses process payments and grow earnings, which leads to more revenue for Shopify as it takes a cut of every transaction.
This is a self-reinforcing cycle that has helped Shopify's revenue grow from well under $1 billion to $10 billion in less than 10 years, making it one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world.
Expanding products and margin expansion potential
Shopify is not resting on its laurels. It is building new services to grow with its customer base. This includes connections with artificial intelligence (AI) query services to help pull products from its commerce partners when users ask chatbots questions. Everything comes back to driving more sales through e-commerce websites, which has driven total payment volume on Shopify partner websites from under $1 billion in 2012 to $327 billion in the last 12 months.
What's more, Shopify is now moving beyond payments for commerce partners through Shopify Campaigns, an advertising service. These campaigns can go on traditional channels such as Google or Instagram but also on the native Shop application. Shop is a mobile app from Shopify that acts as an aggregator for its e-commerce partners, similar to Amazon. This is a bold new venture in building a consumer-facing application but greatly expands Shopify's addressable market.
Add everything together along with the core tailwind of its e-commerce market share gains and Shopify should be able to grow its revenue at a double-digit rate for a long while. In 2025, it expects to grow revenue between 25% and 30% compared to 2024. Right now, Shopify's operating margin is 15.4%. As a payments and software company with low overhead, increasing scale should lead to improving profit margins for Shopify in the years to come. This can help underlying earnings grow even faster than revenue.
Should you buy Shopify stock?
After looking through the financials, it is clear that Shopify is a great business. This is why the stock price is up 5,000% since its initial public offering (IPO) around 10 years ago.
That does not necessarily make the stock a buy, though.
Shopify's stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of about 76. This metric takes the current market cap of $185 billion and divides it by consensus estimates of $1.84 per share for net income over the next 12 months. This is already factoring in Shopify's expected strong revenue and earnings growth in the coming quarters. It will be many years before this lofty P/E ratio gets down to the average level of 20 to 30 for large-cap stocks listed in the United States.
At a market cap pushing $200 billion and only $10 billion in trailing revenue, Shopify stock looks overvalued, even though the business is firing on all cylinders. You should avoid buying shares of this company after its post-earnings pop.
