131Shopify ($SHOP) continues to be a dominant force in e-commerce, empowering businesses worldwide. As of December 31, 2024, its stock price stands at $106.33, placing it between its 52-week low of $48.56 and high of $120.72.
Shopify is on my shopping list for 2025, in part due into its innovation in AI and logistics. Do you think this justifies its price, or would you wait for better value?
I think the following factors are worth noting:
Considering these factors, do you think Shopify is a compelling investment opportunity in 2025?
The image below showcases $SHOP (-0,3%) 's advantage over BigCommerce, especially wrt its number of merchants and its vast ecosystem of partners and apps.
The company also has an edge over larger players like $AMZN (+0,03%) by being more merchant-focused, while Amazon has gotten backlash in the past for promoting its own products over others.

$TMDX (-0,07%) - Company presentation part 2
Why $TMDX (-0,07%) could be an opportunity - reasons and concerns
Positive:
$TMDX (-0,07%) Could easily become a monopoly (especially NOP) or expand their lead. You start in a niche, dominate it and keep expanding.
Concerns:
Net income:
Q4 2023: 4 million $
Q1 2024: 12.2 million $
Q2 2024: 12.2 million dollars
Q3 2024: 4.2 million USD
Bottom line:
I think $TMDX (-0,07%) could be a good buy now. The current weakness in the numbers is fundamentally not due to weakness in the business, but it is being sold off heavily as if it is. Down 50% because the transplant industry as a whole is down ? Because more was spent this quarter on expanding the business for 2025 ? Because the QoQ increase could not be sustained due to aircraft maintenance ?
I will consider getting in, what stops me at the moment is that you can't control the supply, but if you continue to develop the technology and others also use your services, the growth should be able to be sustained.

$TMDX (-0,07%) - Company presentation - Part 1:
TransMedics Group, Inc. is a medical device company transforming organ transplant therapy for patients with end-stage lung, heart and liver failure.
The company specializes in portable extracorporeal thermal perfusion and the evaluation of donor organs for transplantation. Its Organ Care System (OCS) is a portable organ perfusion, optimization and monitoring system that uses its customized technology to replicate near-physiological conditions for donor organs outside the human body.
In addition, the company has developed the National OCS Program (NOP), a turnkey solution for outsourced organ harvesting, OCS organ management and logistics services for transplant programs in the United States. Logistics services include air transportation, ground transportation and other coordination activities. NOP provides trained organ procurement surgeons, clinical specialists and transplant coordinators to provide an end-to-end clinical solution utilizing OCS technology.
Now a little more in detail:
OCS = Organ Care System
$TMDX (-0,07%) currently has OCS consoles for the heart, liver and lungs.
The cool thing about $TMDX (-0,07%) 's OCS is that normally 2-3 out of 10 organs stored in the cold room are successfully transplanted.
8 out of 10 OCS organs or disposable sets (as they are called) are transplanted without complications.
The trick lies in the ability of the $TMDX (-0,07%) OCS console to maintain organ functionality through the constant circulation of warm blood (perfusion).
The OCS consoles are the only FDA-approved portable multi-organ perfusion device on the market.
The installation of these innovative cutting-edge consoles in the 70 leading transplant centers in the USA is probably equivalent to a monopoly position.
Blood flow to the organs and constant monitoring of their functionality reduces ischemic injury and post-transplant complications.
$TMDX (-0,07%) also has its own fleet of 18 airplanes to help get organs to where they are needed.
If an organization needs to outsource the pick-up or drop-off of organs, it can use an aircraft from the NOP network. $TMDX (-0,07%) - aircraft from the NOP network.
NOP = National OCS Program
The NOP's nationwide hub network takes care of the transportation of organs from the donor to the recipient around the clock
The NOP network has now contributed to over 4,000 transplants
This is the only air and ground network that is 100% dedicated to the transportation of organs.
Selling organs and organ care system (OCS) consoles to organ transplantation and procurement centers and organizations, as well as selling to distributors who sell their products to centers and organizations abroad.
Service:
They also sell organ procurement and organ management services to all of these organizations through NOP
All customer contracts include multiple performance obligations covering all products and services they provide (organs, OCS, NOP services).
Financials:
2021: $30.3M
2022: $93.5M
2023: $241.6M
2024: $434.1M est +79% YoY
2025: $548.1M est +26%YoY
2023: -$0.77
2024: USD 1.07 estimated
2025: estimated USD 1.65
$TMDX (-0,07%) is managed by the founder - which should be an advantage.
Since 1998, the CEO has built this company into the country's leading transplant network.
CEO- Waleed Hassanein
$TMDX (-0,07%) is still a small cap and
basically has everything it takes to become a future monopoly.
$TMDX (-0,07%) Continues to invest heavily in the future
They addressed profit margins and stated that they continue to invest in hiring pilots, aircraft, maintenance centers - to take care of their own aircraft, etc.
All these investments will $TMDX (-0,07%) probably turn the company from a small-cap to a mid-cap in the next few years.
The weakness in earnings in recent earnings is probably not fundamentally due to the weakness of the company.
The quarter-on-quarter decline in sales was due to general weakness and maintenance measures in the industry as well as investments that affect margins and apparently surprised many analysts.
There is actually nothing wrong with the business.
Finally, I would like to say that I am not yet invested, but after the recent fall in the share price, a long-term entry should be very interesting and I am considering an initial entry.
Are any of you already invested? ✌️

After being a mostly silent reader for over a year now, watching with interest what strategies and views others are pursuing:
Today I would like to share my first milestone with you - and most likely (never say never) my last.
After the last few weeks have been rather sideways, today I'm green again and have made a significant jump.
🎉A portfolio value of €1,000,000🎉
Briefly in advance:
My start in the world of finance began with a securities account that I inherited at the age of 20 due to sad circumstances. I never really got to grips with investments and 2-3 years later, I had completely different worries and suffering and would have gladly swapped the portfolio for a loved one again.
Now a little about my "strategy"
I inherited a lot of "blue chip" stocks and gradually sold some of them and opted for other stocks.
In my opinion, the "price increase" team is clearly superior to the "dividend" team at Getquin. I have always tried to find a healthy mix, and I have to admit that dividend stocks help me to get more involved with investing.
In the ~7 years I have been active so far, I have also had to learn the hard way and gain experience. Here are a few brief insights for those who are interested:
$TTE (+0,05%) and $AI (+0,1%) were my first self-made purchases, whereby I gradually $AI (+0,1%) I gradually increased my holdings and fortunately was able to take a stock split with me.
My first speculative share $NEL (+0,9%) had a price gain of 300% in the meantime, but was sold at a loss after disappointing figures.
During a professional training program during Corona, I bought shares $GME (+0,38%) I bought shares and took part in the rollercoaster ride in which I was able to realize a profit of €1,500 from a €6,000 investment and a lot of sweating and excitement.
I bought 0.05 $BTC (-1,64%) and was able to successfully hold it for 2 years and go from 0 to 0 before the BTC price went through the roof. You have to manage that first.
After the scandal of $WDI I thought, well the figures may be falsified but the company will have a conscience value and I burned another €1,500 at a share price of €1.22.
In addition, I couldn't quite believe the sanctions against Russia and shortly before the announcement of the sanctions $GAZP I bought shares worth €1,600.
At the end of the millions, the purchase of $PLTR (-1,58%) where I can currently record a 450% price gain.
( Thank you Jan Böhmermann, your video about this "evil" company was the best advertisement )
I am now happy with my portfolio. In the long term, I am still waiting $WCH (-0,06%) for a reasonably positive exit.
Of $SAP (+0,18%) as I also work with it at work and don't see any competition in the medium term as far as customized solutions are concerned.
I would also like to increase the position of $ENR (-1,26%) and generally increase my weighting with the Worlds funds.
I have currently set up savings plans of around €900 (€700 Worlds, €150 S&P 500, €50 EM)
In addition, I have a securities account not tracked here where I have been participating in a share program for employees for 10 years with my annual bonus payment from my employer. I also regularly watch videos of "Finanzbär" on Youtube where I am occasionally tempted to make individual purchases (e.g. $HIMS (-1,01%) and $SHOP (-0,3%) )
I can highly recommend it!
Fortunately, I can expect 3 salary increases in the next 12 months due to collective agreements and a change of position in the company.
I would like to use this to top up my savings plans and am considering investing €100 a month in $BTC (-1,64%) or $MSTR (-2,66%)
and we'll see.
My next goal?
Continue in the same way but don't forget that you are alive NOW and treat yourself to something. And if things go well, enjoy life in a southern country in my early 40s and no longer have to work 😁
With this in mind :
Cheers 🥂 thanks to all of you
22 years old from country with average salary 1k
Currently Im adding to Unilever for stability and dividends and other positions to decrease my $SHOP (-0,3%) allocation without selling shares
