PrestaShop merchants will also benefit from a suite of additional marketing and sales support and a number of special incentives.

Why the stock soared 85% last week

Last week, the e-commerce company saw its stock price skyrocket 85% as retail traders piled into the stock following discussions across various social media channels about the possibility of it hitting price targets well above existing levels.

The stock’s daily trading volume on 08 June 2021 hit 175 million, which was well above the average of just around ten million a day.

It was also the top trending stock on the day on trading-centric social network StockTwits.

What’s the outlook on the stock?

Last month, ContextLogic reported ‘stronger-than-expected’ first quarter of 2021 financial results, with revenue growing 75% year-on-year to US$772 million.

Then on 13 May, Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju maintained a ‘buy’ rating on the stock while cutting his price target to US$24 from US$31.

His lower price target was predicated on the company’s delayed growth trajectory for the second half of 2021. He did however note the better-than-expected revenue and adjusted EBITDA thanks to higher AOVs and improved logistics performance.

Stifel analyst Scott Devitt also lowered his firm's price target on ContextLogic to US$12 from US$20 following the quarterly results, while reiterating a ‘hold’ rating.

The analyst readjusted his intermediate and long-term growth assumptions for the platform’s core marketplace revenue, citing the company’s decision to reduce marketing investments in certain geographies and his projections for slower MAU growth than previously stated.

Analyst sentiments published by MarketBeat show an average rating of ‘buy’ and price target of US$22.92 on the stock. This implies a 103.4% upside potential from ContextLogic’s last traded price of US$11.27.
