Despite all the political and trade drama that has occurred in 2025, e-commerce platform Shopify (SHOP) has demonstrated incredible resilience. Over the past month alone, the stock has climbed an impressive 33.6%, driven in part by renewed investor optimism following a 90-day pause on most tariffs between the U.S. and China. This temporary truce sparked renewed enthusiasm across markets, lifting investor appetite for high-growth names like Shopify.
Adding fuel to the rally, shares of the Canadian commerce platform jumped 13.7% on May 12 following news that Shopify is set to join the prestigious Nasdaq-100 Index ($IUXX) and the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index, replacing MongoDB (MDB). This index inclusion, effective before the market opens on May 19, is expected to generate fresh demand from institutional funds and ETFs that track the Nasdaq-100, potentially offering a significant tailwind for the stock.
