Shopify Stock Is Up 51% From Its 52-Week Low. Can Agentic Commerce Keep It Climbing?

Shopify (SHOP) stock rose 3% last week after Meta's Muse AI agent deal, but concerns about Meta Pay's role caused volatility. Shopify's Q2 revenue grew 34% to $3.6B, with GMV up 32% to $116B. Analysts estimate a 38.2% upside to $197 over 2.3 years, based on 25% revenue growth and 17% margins. Q3 results, expected November 3, will be key for investor sentiment.
