Wayfair's stock experienced a significant decline of 9.71% during intraday trading on Monday, as renewed uncertainty over U.S. trade policy weighed on e-commerce shares.
The sell-off follows President Donald Trump's announcement of a new 15% global tariff, which has injected fresh ambiguity into the trade landscape for online retailers. While Wayfair had previously rallied after a Supreme Court ruling struck down broader tariffs last week, the latest policy shift has created new concerns about the operating environment for e-commerce companies.
Analysts note that while Wayfair has adapted to previous tariff regimes and may be among the least impacted e-commerce players, the overall uncertainty surrounding trade policy is creating headwinds for the sector. The market appears to be reacting to the potential implications of these new tariffs on import costs and consumer pricing dynamics.
