“We forecast a 15% ‘22-’27 revenue CAGR, mostly driven by GMS (Gross Merchandise Sales) growth of 13%, as we believe Etsy will continue to execute against a vast & growing global eCommerce opportunity,” the analyst wrote.

“We expect Etsy to reach an Adj. EBITDA margin of ~37% by 2027, supported by scale effects, as high incremental margins more than compensate for reinvestment needs to support forward growth,” he added.
