Home/News Feed/Etsy's $2B buyback tests if marketplace growth can offset revenue decline in Q3 report on Oct 28 Etsy will report its Q3 2026 earnings on October 28, testing if its $2 billion share buyback can counteract a slight revenue decline caused by the sale of Depop and tougher year-over-year comparisons. Despite a 1.4% revenue drop to $668.3 million, Etsy's marketplace gross merchandise sales (GMS) grew steadily, and management expects mid-single-digit GMS growth for the full year. The company has also improved profitability with a higher take rate and adjusted EBITDA margin, while focusing on returning capital to shareholders through buybacks fueled by strong free cash flow and Depop sale proceeds. Investors will watch GMS growth, buyback pace, and restructuring progress to gauge if Etsy's marketplace momentum can sustain earnings growth amid challenging conditions.
