In 2025Q2, Wayfair posted its strongest quarter since 2021, with a return to revenue growth and GAAP profitability. I am upgrading the stock from Sell to Hold based on these improved fundamentals. Despite strong results, valuation remains stretched, as I believe the market is overly focused on the direction, and not the magnitude, of the numbers.
Wayfair's stock has tripled this year, fueled by retail investor enthusiasm and a strong Q2 earnings beat, but valuations now look stretched. Despite a rebound to mid-single-digit growth, I'm downgrading Wayfair to a sell due to limited upside and significant downside risk at current prices. Key risks include potential demand pull-forward from tariffs, supplier price hikes, and continued decline in active buyers despite revenue growth.
Home furnishings giant Wayfair is leaning into artificial intelligence (AI) amid an uptick in revenues. The company on Monday (Aug. 4) reported earnings showing revenue of $3.3 billion for the quarter, a 5% increase and Wayfair's strongest metrics in four years.
