Wayfair Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

Factors to Note

Coronavirus pandemic-led spike in online home furnishing orders is likely to have driven the company’s performance in the quarter to be reported.

It persistently witnessed strong demand across most home goods categories in both U.S. and International segments during the second quarter. This is likely to get reflected in the company’s second-quarter results.

Further, it witnessed more than double rate of growth in gross revenues toward the end of the first quarter, which might have continued in the second quarter.

Wayfair’s second-quarter performance might have benefited from the strengthening direct retail business across the United States and international regions.

Moreover, the business is anticipated to have bolstered the company’s active customer base in the quarter under review. This is likely to have driven its second-quarter’s performance.

Further, the company’s growing efforts for expanding house-brand offerings in the U.K. and North America are expected to have contributed to second-quarter performance.
