The E-Commerce Stocks to Buy Before the Holiday Quarter
One of these companies earns more than 40% of its annual operating profit in the holiday quarter. But it's not the stock I'd buy first.
Overview
The holiday quarter starts in about two weeks. And for e-commerce companies, it's the three months that matter most. Consider Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP). The e-commerce software company earned $631 million of operating income in last year's fourth quarter -- 43% of its operating income for all of 2025.
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and MercadoLibre (NASDAQ:MELI) lean on the season, too, though not nearly as hard. Notably, all three companies close their books on Dec. 31, so the December quarter is the fourth quarter for each.

Here's a closer look at all three stocks ahead of the season.
