The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who not so much). Let’s have a look at how the e-commerce software stocks have fared in Q2, starting with Wix (NASDAQ:WIX).

While e-commerce has been around for over two decades and enjoyed meaningful growth, its overall penetration of retail still remains low. Only around $1 in every $5 spent on retail purchases comes from digital orders, leaving over 80% of the retail market still ripe for online disruption. It is these large swathes of the retail where e-commerce has not yet taken hold that drives the demand for various e-commerce software solutions.

The 6 e-commerce software stocks we track reported a mixed Q2; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 1.64%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 0.06% above consensus. Increasing interest rates hurt growth companies as investors search for near-term cash flows and while some of the e-commerce software stocks have fared somewhat better than others, they have not been spared, with share prices declining 6.38% since the previous earnings results, on average.

Wix (NASDAQ:WIX)

Founded in 2006 in Tel Aviv, Wix.com (NASDAQ:WIX) offers a free and easy to operate website building platform.

Wix reported revenues of $390 million, up 13% year on year, beating analyst expectations by 1.92%. It was a decent quarter for the company, with an improvement in its gross margin. It was also good to see that its revenue growth outperformed Wall Street's expectations.

"It has been an incredible past six months at Wix on many fronts as we generated accelerating profitable growth through execution excellence and focused operational discipline. As a result, Q2 again performed above expectations and exceeded our revenue growth and FCF margin guides. In addition to this outperformance, we also made remarkable strides in our product evolution with the introduction of our new cornerstone Partner product, Wix Studio," said Avishai Abrahami, Wix Co-founder and CEO.

Wix achieved the highest full year guidance raise of the whole group. The stock is up 0.26% since the results and currently trades at $88.73.
