Etsy Crumbles as Market Uncertainties Weigh Volume Ranks 393rd

On October 8, 2025, Etsy (ETSY) closed with a 1.82% decline, trading a volume of $290 million, ranking 393rd in market activity. The drop followed mixed signals from market participants navigating broader economic uncertainties, though no direct earnings or operational updates were disclosed by the e-commerce platform.

Analysts noted that Etsy’s performance remained sensitive to macroeconomic pressures, with investors recalibrating expectations amid shifting consumer spending patterns. The stock’s volatility aligned with broader market trends, as retail and consumer discretionary sectors faced renewed scrutiny over seasonal demand cycles and input cost dynamics.

To run this back-test accurately I need to confirm a few practical details: 1. Market universe • All U.S. listed common stocks, or a different universe (e.g., S&P 500 constituents, NASDAQ only, OTC…)? 2. Execution price • Buy at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close, or buy at tomorrow’s open and exit at tomorrow’s close? 3. Treatment of corporate actions and survivorship bias • Is it acceptable to ignore delisted stocks and corporate-action adjustments, or should these be handled explicitly? 4. Transaction costs/slippage • Assume zero costs, or apply a commission/impact model? Once I have these details I’ll lay out the data-gathering plan and run the back-test.
