What are Wall Street analysts saying about Wayfair stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wayfair stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Wayfair is benefiting from its strengthening direct retail business across the United States and international regions. Further growing number of orders from new as well as repeated customers indicates the company’s solid momentum in the market. The company stays confident about its growth in markets, namely, Canada, U.K. and Germany as it has made strong advances to expand its house-brand offerings in these countries. Additionally, the launch of French language site and CastleGate facility in Canada remains positive. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry it belongs to in the past 12 months. However, increasing advertising expenditures and mounting investment expenses pose a risk to margin expansion." (1/7/2019)
- 2. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We hosted Wayfair CEO a fireside chat at our annual Canaccord Genuity Growth Conference. Key areas of discussion included continued investments in user experience, product selection, and delivery infrastructure, all of which drive repeat consumer purchases and create operating leverage over time. Int’l markets is another area of investment and growth, and expansion outside of the company’s three current markets (Canada, UK, and Germany) is likely after Germany demonstrates sufficient operational progress."
