Etsy (ETSY) CFO Lanny Baker said the company has seen a slightly healthier consumer spend across all the different cohorts and has not witnessed any significant shifts in spending related to tariffs or trade announcements that have happened.
“The general read is that the consumer that we're seeing looks a little bit better, slightly better than it was perhaps three months ago,” Baker said on a post-earnings call.
He added that higher-income households tend to be slightly healthier and stronger than lower-income households; however, both are improving, and there is no significant difference between the two at present.
