On June 18, Shopify fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at 110.05 USD/share, with turnover of $577 million. The decline was driven by persistent market concerns that AI poses an existential threat to traditional software businesses, triggering continued sector divergence and fund rotation.
Within the Internet Services and Infrastructure sector, AI infrastructure names outperformed while traditional SaaS stocks lagged. CoreWeave rose 2.6%, Applied Digital gained 1.17%, and Cloudflare edged up 0.83%, while Snowflake fell 0.97%. The accelerating capital shift from traditional software toward AI infrastructure companies continued to weigh on Shopify.
Despite Shopify's $5 billion share buyback program having been launched on June 8 — with approximately $1.45 billion already repurchased — multiple consecutive sessions of industry-wide selling pressure have significantly diminished the buyback's supportive effect on the stock price, which has extended its pullback trajectory.
