#248: Lessons from Our Best Performing Stock (Up 27X)

#248: Lessons from Our Best Performing Stock (Up 27X)

Author: MyWallSt February 13, 2025 Duration: 56:04

Back in 2016, MyWallSt pitched Shopify, the newly listed Canadian e-commerce player targeting the SMB market. Since then, Shopify has grown by 2,600% (a 26X bagger). However, it hasn’t been a straight road—who can forget the 2021 sell-off that saw the stock drop almost 80%?


But no fear, this potential Amazon killer has returned stronger than ever.


Tune in as Mike and Emmet break down the attributes that made and make Shopify a great investment, including its unique founding story, strategic pivots, and impressive financials. It’s also a great case study for investors hunting for the next 10X stock.
