On August 5, Wayfair declined 5.22% in regular trading, trading at approximately $110.02 per share, with turnover of $2.0 billion. The pullback follows the prior session's 29%-plus surge driven by a strong Q2 earnings beat.
The decline appears driven by short-term profit-taking after the sharp rally, compounded by a notable gap between institutional price targets and the current stock price. MoffettNathanson raised its target on Wayfair to $63 from $43 while maintaining a Neutral rating, well below the trading level. The FactSet consensus mean target stands at $93.78, also materially below the current price, signaling significant divergence between sell-side valuation centers and market pricing.
In Q2, Wayfair reported adjusted EPS of $0.95, up 9.2% year-over-year and beating the $0.90 consensus, while revenue reached $3.519 billion, up 7.6% and ahead of the $3.465 billion estimate. Adjusted EBITDA rose 18% to $242 million with margin expanding 60 basis points to 6.9%. U.S. sales grew 8.7%, the fastest pace since the pandemic. Free cash flow hit $301 million, the highest since 2020.
