Report Questioning Company Marketing Practices, Sustainability of Growth Prompts Stock Drop
On October 4, 2017, Citron Research published a report questioning the sustainability of Shopify’s user growth and asserting that the company’s marketing practices violate Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules. The report specifically references marketing material and promotions distributed by Shopify that called it “the online store for someday millionaires” and claims that members can quit their jobs and become millionaires. The Citron report compared Shopify’s business practices to those of Herbalife, which recently paid $200 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges and agreed to an order “prohibit[ing] Herbalife from misrepresenting distributors’ potential or likely earnings.”
Following this news, the share price of Shopify plummeted more than 11.5% to close at $103.30 on October 4, 2017.
