Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Key Factors to Consider
Stamps.com’s first-quarter results are expected to have benefited from robust performance of its brands - Stamps.com, Endicia, ShipStation, ShippingEasy, ShipWorks, ShipEngine and MetaPack.
Additionally, the company is likely to have gained from an increase in shipping as well as package volumes, driven by strong demand for online shipment services amid disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further, increasing penetration of high-speed delivery services and growing adoption of digital payment applications are expected to have driven growth for Stamp.com’s mailing and shipping solutions.
Additionally, the partnership with United Parcel Service to provide shipping solutions across the company’s e-commerce multi-carrier platforms, including ShipStation, ShippingEasy and ShipWorks, is expected to have aided customer acquisition.
Moreover, Stamps.com’s results are expected to have benefited strong adoption of ShipStation in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. Extended language support like Spanish and French is expected to have helped in expanding customer base.
