Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) and Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>). The investment firm reduced its holdings in both companies.
The Coinbase Trade
Ark Invest sold 5,646 shares of Coinbase Global Inc. through its Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>) on Tuesday. With Coinbase&#8217;s stock closing at $311.64, the transaction was valued at approximately $1.8 million. This move follows a challenging period for Coinbase, as highlighted in their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">third-quarter earnings report</a>, which revealed a revenue miss and declining transaction revenue. The company&#8217;s financials have been under pressure, impacting investor sentiment.
Coinbase&#8217;s recent performance has been scrutinized, with the company reporting third-quarter revenue of $1.21 billion, falling short of the $1.26 billion consensus estimate. However, the sale of Coinbase shares comes at a time when the apex cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42545419/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-stay-muted-before-feds-interest-rate-decision-analyst-says-btc-in-parabolic-phase-reveals-its-duration">hitting new all-time highs</a> consistently. The leading cryptocurrency earlier hit a fresh all-time high of $108,000 in early trading hours before witnessing a sharp decline.
The Shopify Trade
Ark Invest also reduced its stake in Shopify Inc. by selling 31,078 shares through the ARKF ETF. With Shopify&#8217;s stock closing at $119.49, the sale amounted to approximately $3.7 million. Shopify has been on a growth trajectory, as evidenced by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41901788/shopify-q3-earnings-ninth-consecutive-quarter-of-revenue-beat-gmv-up-24-positive-outlook-and-more">third-quarter earnings</a>, which marked its ninth consecutive quarter of revenue beats.
The e-commerce giant reported a 26% year-over-year revenue growth to $2.16 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. Notably, Ark Invest has been seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42227834/cathie-wood-buys-amazon-amd-stock-trims-palantir-block-holdings-amid-ai-and-bitcoin-euphoria">shopping for shares</a> of Shopify&#8217;s larger rival Amazon.com, Inc (AMZN) recently.

Shopify Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) shares are bouncing around in early trading Tuesday. The stock initially traded higher after the company provided a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/42287954/new-achievement-unlocked-shopify-merchants-drive-record-high-11-5-billion-in-sales-over-black-frida">holiday shopping update</a>. 
What Happened: Shopify announced that merchants achieved a record $11.5 billion in sales over the Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend, up 24% year-over-year. 
More than 76 million customers made purchases from brands powered by Shopify and more than 67,000 merchants had their highest-selling day of all time. At the peak on Black Friday, sales climbed to $4.6 million per minute. Cross-border orders represented 16% of global orders and the company saw a 58% year-over-year increase in sales made via Shop Pay.
&#8220;Shopify is transforming Black Friday weekend. What was once a doorbuster shopping moment dominated by legacy players is now a global commerce event that businesses of all sizes participate in. We&#8217;re amplifying the global entrepreneurial spirit by rallying behind our merchants, preparing them, and celebrating their impact on a global stage,&#8221; said Harley Finkelstein, president of Shopify.
Shopify noted that it processed&nbsp;57.3 PB&nbsp;of data,&nbsp;1.19&nbsp;trillion edge requests,&nbsp;10.5 trillion&nbsp;database queries, and&nbsp;1.17 trillion&nbsp;database writes over the weekend.
&#8220;Black Friday-Cyber Monday wasn&#8217;t just busy, it was a live demo of Shopify&#8217;s rock-solid reliability and top-tier tech prowess. If we can ace BFCM, bring it on-we&#8217;re ready for anything,&#8221; the company said. 
Don&#8217;t Miss: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42265010/amazon-and-walmart-dominate-black-friday-as-online-sales-soar-146">Amazon And Walmart Dominate Black Friday As Online Sales Soar 14.6%</a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy SHOP Stock</h3>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Shopify &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. In the case of Shopify, which is trading at $112.98 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.89 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
SHOP Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/shop">Shopify shares</a> were down 1.19% at $111.65 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Going On With Shopify Stock Tuesday?

ARK Invest said in November that artificial intelligence-powered digital wallets could revolutionize e-commerce, potentially driving nearly $9 trillion in global online spending by 2030 through the integration of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/12/42257325/ai-revolutionizes-black-friday-shopping-as-online-sales-reach-new-heights">Large Language Models into payment platforms</a>.
What Happened: The Cathie Wood-led firm&#8217;s latest research suggests that AI &#8220;purchasing agents&#8221; embedded in digital wallets like Shopify Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) Shop Pay, Cash App owned by Block Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>), and Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Apple Pay could transform the traditional one-click checkout into a streamlined one-query purchase experience.
This development comes as major tech companies, including Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), are rapidly advancing their AI shopping capabilities.
ARK&#8217;s research suggests AI purchasing agents could disrupt Google and Amazon&#8217;s dominance by automating product comparisons and purchase decisions, reducing reliance on search engines and marketplaces.
Klarna&#8216;s integration with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) backed OpenAI technology demonstrates early adoption of this trend, with its shopping assistant combining search and aggregation based on user preferences.
&#8220;Digital wallets helmed by purchasing agents could increase their share of global e-commerce purchase volume from 50% in 2023 to 72% by 2030,&#8221; according to Ark Invest&#8217;s analysis. 
The firm projects that if 10% of global AI agent spending occurs through digital wallets with a 5% lead generation fee, these AI purchasing agents could generate $43 billion for digital wallet providers.

Why It Matters: Recent market developments support this trajectory. Amazon&#8217;s AI shopping assistant Rufus, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39755563/amazon-expands-ai-shopping-assistant-rufus-to-all-us-customers-as-prime-day-approaches">launched nationwide in July</a>, has already demonstrated the potential of AI in e-commerce by helping customers with product details, recommendations, and comparisons. 
Meanwhile, Google&#8217;s reported development of &#8220;Project Jarvis,&#8221; an AI system designed to handle shopping and travel bookings, suggests <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41562574/google-is-working-on-an-ai-system-named-jarvis-to-handle-your-search-shopping-and-flight-booking-nee">growing competition in this space</a>.
The impact of AI on e-commerce was particularly evident during Black Friday 2024, when online sales reached $10.8 billion, marking a 10.2% increase from 2023. Retailers using AI chatbots saw a 1,800% increase in website traffic and a 9% higher conversion rate compared to those without AI integration, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/12/42257325/ai-revolutionizes-black-friday-shopping-as-online-sales-reach-new-heights">according to Salesforce data</a>.
Ark Invest emphasizes that success in this space will require digital wallet providers to balance personalization with user privacy and trust. The firm suggests that similar to credit card rewards programs which distributed $40 billion in rewards in 2022, digital wallets will need to offer compelling incentives to drive adoption.

Cathie Wood-Led Ark's Prediction: AI Will Turn Digital Wallets Into $9 Trillion E-Commerce Powerhouses — Google, Amazon Dominance Set For Disruption?

The year 2024 may have started slow for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech">fintech stocks</a>, but the sector flipped the script in the second half.
JPMorgan's Reginald L. Smith points to a $65 billion leap in the sector's market cap since mid-September, driven by upbeat third-quarter results, rate cuts and post-election tailwinds.
As 2025 beckons, Smith envisions improving funding conditions and loan volumes lifting fintech lenders — but advises caution on current valuations ahead of the fourth quarter earnings cycle.
Among the standouts are three fintech players rewriting the rulebook: Kaspi, Affirm and Shopify.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Kaspi's Big Leap: 25% Potential Upside, Says Analyst</h1>
Kaspi.kz JSC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSPI#NASDAQ">KSPI</a>) isn't just a fintech favorite — it's redefining growth in the space. With a pending majority acquisition of Turkey's Hepsiburada, Smith notes Kaspi is tackling single-country exposure concerns head-on while expanding its total addressable market.
At just 8x 2025 earnings, Kaspi's robust fundamentals (30%+ revenue growth, 40%+ net income margins) note it is undervalued. The stock has a $137 price target, offering a potential 25% upside.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Affirm's BNPL Domination: 12% Projected Upside</h1>
Affirm Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AFRM#NASDAQ">AFRM</a>) continues to capitalize on the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) trend, turning its partnerships with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Pay, and Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) into long-term growth levers.
Smith highlights Affirm's strong credit metrics and reliable funding channels as key differentiators, with the company targeting profitability by FY25. With a $74 price target and 12% upside, Affirm remains a contender for fintech investors.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Shopify's Subtle Brilliance With 8% Upside</h1>
Shopify might not have the flashiest story, but its numbers tell a winning tale. Growing GMV (gross merchandise value) by $50 billion annually and revenue by $1.6 billion, Shopify is matching its COVID-19 pandemic-era performance while doubling its free cash flow margin.
Smith believes international growth and further upmarket penetration can keep Shopify on its 20% growth trajectory, even as subscription price increases loom as a future safety net. The $121 price target implies an 8% upside.

"Pretty darn good list. Agree with all but micromanage," Cuban said. "Micromanage early. Trust the process or fix what's broken if you always have to micromanage."
CNBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/22/mark-cuban-micromanaging-is-a-toxic-trait-with-one-exception.html">reported</a>&nbsp;Cuban's opinion on micromanaging was formed from personal experience with his former company Broadcast.com.
Cuban reportedly micromanaged his employees in his early days as he expected them to match his own work ethic. This created a situation in which Cuban was always focused on pushing employees to be better and work faster without thinking about how he was coming off.
"I wish somebody would have told me to be nicer,&#8221; Cuban reportedly said on the "Bio Eats World" podcast last year.

Cuban's "go, go, go" mentality and micromanaging tendencies actually hurt the company in its early stages. Cuban recalled one of his business partners pulling him aside and telling him he was scaring some of the employees with his management style. Still, Cuban sold the company to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in stock in 1999.
Lavian's post included a link to a video featuring&nbsp;Shopify Inc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) co-founder and CEO&nbsp;Tobi Lütke,&nbsp;who argued that the idea of micromanaging is bad is "the dumbest idea on planet Earth."
Although Cuban disagreed with the take, Lavian responded to Cuban, thanking him for his input.
"I try to hire the right team so I don&#8217;t have to micromanage, but I don&#8217;t always get it right," Lavian said.
"Once I know I can trust someone to get the little things right, I know they can devote the same level of detail and attention for the big ones that truly matter."

High-risk, high-reward tech stocks are gaining momentum as fundamentals of beta and aligning investment strategies with market conditions unlock significant value. Thus, quality high-beta stocks Palantir Technologies (PLTR), Shopify (SHOP), and AppLovin Corp (APP) could be sound watchlist additions for high-risk tolerant investors. Read more… As the economy responds to the rate cut, high-beta tech stocks may provide superior returns for those willing to endure short-term turbulence. Companies in the tech sector and software applications are particularly poised to benefit. These stocks offer the potential for outsized returns as they react more dramatically to market shifts.
Therefore, for risk-tolerant investors, now might be an opportune time to consider looking into fundamentally sound high-beta tech stocks, Palantir Technologies Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PLTR/">PLTR</a>), Shopify Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SHOP/">SHOP</a>), and AppLovin Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/APP/">APP</a>) for outsized returns.
The recent rate cut by the Federal Reserve has <a href="https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2024/10/23/how-the-feds-interest-rate-cuts-will-impact-the-tech-sector/">bolstered the tech sector</a>, which relies heavily on cheap capital for R&amp;D and innovation. The companies investing in adverse technologies now have greater financial flexibility and are paving the way for new growth opportunities.
In the third quarter of 2024, the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) <a href="https://www.bea.gov/data/gdp/gross-domestic-product">increased at an annual rate of 2.8%</a>. This increase is largely reflected due to increases in consumer spending, federal government spending, and business investment.
Tech stocks with high beta values represent opportunities for daring investors willing to navigate market volatility for potentially exuberant returns. <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/investing/beta-know-risk/">Beta</a>, a measure of a stock's volatility compared to the broader market, often correlates with higher returns during periods of market growth.
Moreover, the correlation between <a href="https://www.investorsfriend.com/risk-and-reward/">risk and reward in high-beta stocks requires investors to remain vigilant</a>. While these stocks can outperform in bull markets, they are equally susceptible to steep declines during market downturns.
With that in mind, let's dive into the fundamental aspects of the above-mentioned stocks in detail:
