Etsy is continuing its focus on artificial intelligence (AI) as it names new leadership. The online marketplace released earnings Wednesday (Oct. 29) showing gross merchandise sales of $2.72 billion, down 6.5% year over year.
Etsy faces continued sales disappointments and leadership changes, with shares dropping 7% post-Q3 earnings and further downside likely. ETSY's integration with ChatGPT fueled a rally earlier this year, but it has not delivered meaningful growth or improved fundamentals, raising concerns about future prospects. Despite increased spending on product development and marketing, ETSY's margins are under pressure, and adjusted EBITDA is declining year-over-year.
Etsy (ETSY) shares dropped nearly 9% Wednesday afternoon as the online marketplace announced a shakeup in its leadership.
