John Blackledge’s rating is based on a combination of factors influencing Wayfair’s market position and financial outlook. Despite an increase in the price target to $52, Blackledge maintains a Hold rating due to ongoing challenges such as elevated interest rates and a weakened housing market, which continue to affect demand in the home category. The company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2025 is expected to remain flat year-over-year, with only modest growth in the U.S. being offset by the negative impact of exiting the German market.
While Wayfair has shown resilience with a significant share price increase since the easing of tariff pressures, these macroeconomic headwinds persist. The analyst also notes that Wayfair’s revenue growth is constrained by a decline in active customers and orders delivered, despite a slight increase in average order value. These factors, combined with a cautious outlook on future revenue and margin improvements, underpin the decision to maintain a Hold rating.

In another report released on July 17, Mizuho Securities also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $50.00 price target.
