Shopify Inc. (NYSE:SHOP) is set to report fourth-quarter 2018 results on Feb 12.

Notably, the company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, delivering average positive surprise of a whopping 195%.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered adjusted earnings of 4 cents per share against the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 4 cents. However, the figure was down 20% year over year.

Total revenues surged 58% from the year-ago quarter to $270.1 million, comfortably outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $257 million.

We believe diversified expanding merchant base will drive top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. The company continues to launch a number of merchant-friendly applications to meet the requirements of a dynamic retail environment, in turn bolstering merchant base.
