Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wayfair stock:

• 1. Canaccord Genuity analysts commented, "We were encouraged by higher acquisition activity during the quarter, which should help offset the expected continuation of volume headwinds that much of the industry is experiencing." (8/8/2017)
• 2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "The company is expected to report 1Q17 earnings on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, pre-market open and host a call with investors at 8am ET." (5/2/2017)
• 3. Piper Jaffray Companies analysts commented, "We are reiterating our OW rating and $51 price target following the conclusion of our Spring 2017 Piper Jaffray Women's Survey. Our survey includes responses from 1,050 women and is divided up into upper income (>$80k) and average income ($35k-$80k) responses. Importantly, results show a continued rise in Wayfair brand ranking, brand awareness, respondent purchases from Wayfair, and respondents' intent to purchase from Wayfair in the next 6 months. Survey results also show generally favorable intentions for overall home remodeling and redecorating activity. We are more confident in Wayfair's sales outlook for 2017 based on these results, stepped up advertising in the U.S. this year, and what we believe has been a recent improvement in sales trends from tax refund activity." (3/21/2017)
• 4. Wedbush analysts commented, "We forecast W to hit $1b in quarterly revenue for the first time in 4Q16, to be reported on February 23 BMO, outpacing guidance and consensus expectations. We also see upside for EBITDA margin, driven mainly by revenue upside. We would not be surprised if 1Q17 guidance comes up a bit short of consensus on revenue and EBITDA margin, but believe investors are braced for this conservatism that the company has demonstrated for the last two quarters. This data, combined with guidance to run-rate profitability later this year and a planned break-out near-term of U.S. results as intimated at ICR, should support W shares and leads us to raise our target price on W from $40 to $45. Slowing advertising leverage (particularly in light of new moves by Amazon in Google product listing ads) and declining orders per average customer are focal points to monitor." (2/15/2017)
