Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company’s progress, especially compared to other peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at Olo (NYSE:OLO), and the best and worst performers in the e-commerce software group.
While e-commerce has been around for over two decades and enjoyed meaningful growth, its overall penetration of the retail industry still remains low. Only around $1 in every $5 spent on retail purchases comes from digital orders, leaving over 80% of the retail market still susceptible to online disruption. There are still large areas of the retail market where e-commerce has not broken through and that drives the demand for various e-commerce software solutions.
The 4 e-commerce software stocks we track reported a a decent Q2; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 3.11%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 2.78% above consensus. On average the share price was down 11.7% the day after the earnings.
