Shopify shares slide on Q1 loss and cautious guidance

Shopify shares fell 13.5% after the company reported mixed first-quarter 2026 results, with strong revenue growth offset by a sizeable loss. Guidance was largely in line with expectations rather than exceeding them, disappointing investors. The sharp post-earnings selloff suggests the report was viewed negatively despite top-line strength.
