Growth enters the holiday quarter

Shopify said gross merchandise volume reached 119 billion US dollars in the third quarter. The company also reported a 22 percent free cash flow margin, highlighting continued cash generation alongside expansion across merchant businesses, digital agents and additional selling surfaces.

For the fourth quarter, management expects revenue to grow at a low-thirties percentage rate from a year earlier. Gross profit dollars are forecast to increase at a high-twenties rate, while operating expenses are expected to equal 29 percent to 30 percent of revenue.

Costs remain the investor focus
