Shopify handily clears Q4 estimates, revenue this year to approach $1B US

Shopify handily beat consensus fourth quarter estimates for both revenue and earnings and provided better-than-expected guidance for 2018.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce firm reported Thursday that revenues jumped 71 per cent year over year to $222.8 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31, ahead of consensus predictions of roughly $210 million (all figures U.S.)
And for 2017 as a whole, Shopify expects revenues of between $970 million and $990 million compared to the consensus view of $943 million.&
