Description: W Wayfair January 07, 2026
Wayfair Inc. (NYSE: W) operates a multi-brand e-commerce platform that sells furniture, décor, housewares, and home-improvement items across the United States and select international markets. Its portfolio includes consumer-facing sites such as Wayfair, Joss & Main, AllModern, Birch Lane, Perigold, and Wayfair Professional, as well as private-label lines like Three Posts and Mercury Row. The company was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and is classified under the Homefurnishing Retail sub-industry.
Key recent performance metrics (FY 2023) show total revenue of approximately $10.3 billion, with a gross merchandise volume (GMV) growth of 13 % year-over-year, and an average order value of roughly $200. Despite strong top-line growth, the firm posted a net loss of about $1.2 billion, reflecting ongoing investment in marketing and logistics infrastructure.
Sector drivers that materially affect Wayfair’s outlook include the health of the U.S. housing market-new home starts and home-renovation spending are leading indicators of demand for its product mix-and broader consumer discretionary trends, which are sensitive to inflation and disposable-income pressures. Additionally, supply-chain resilience and last-mile delivery costs remain critical cost levers for the business.
For a deeper quantitative assessment, reviewing ValueRay’s detailed valuation models can help illuminate the upside potential and risk profile.
