Etsy is well-positioned to fight off competitors and remain a leading player in the booming e-commerce industry even after the pandemic, according to Atlantic Equities.
Etsy's stock is up more than 200% from pre-pandemic levels as locked-down consumers flocked to the e-commerce site for handmade goods, but shares have slipped in 2021 as the market shifted toward reopening and cyclical bets.
