Christopher Horvers has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Wayfair’s strong market position and growth potential. The company has demonstrated impressive sales momentum, largely driven by self-help initiatives and market share gains, rather than external factors like tariff-induced price inflation. This indicates a robust underlying demand for Wayfair’s offerings, supported by rising online category penetration and the absence of share-of-wallet headwinds.
Additionally, Wayfair’s ability to leverage its fixed SG&A costs and achieve strong returns on advertising has resulted in significant margin improvements. The company’s focus on growing gross profit dollars and enhancing EBITDA margins further underscores its potential for long-term profitability. With Wayfair’s strategic reinvestment into its business and the anticipated benefits from initiatives like “Wayfair Verified” and loyalty programs, Horvers believes the company is well-positioned to capitalize on high-margin profit pools and improve operational performance, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released yesterday, Mizuho Securities also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $88.00 price target.
