What are Wall Street analysts saying about Wayfair stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Wayfair stock:
- 1. 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." (8/8/2018)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Wayfair's second-quarter revenues were driven by strong direct retail business across the United States and international regions. Further growing numbers of orders from new as well as repeated customers indicates the strong performance of the company. The company stays confident about growth in markets, namely, Canada, U.K. and Germany as the company has made efforts to expand its house-brand offerings in these countries. Additionally, the launch of French language site and CastleGate facility in Canada remains positive. However, increasing advertising expenditures and mounting investment expenses pose a risk to margin expansion. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry it belongs to in the past 12 months."
