Bernstein SocGen raises Wayfair stock price target to $70 on solid Q2

Investing.com - Bernstein SocGen Group raised its price target on Wayfair (NYSE:W) to $70.00 from $50.00 on Tuesday, while maintaining a Market Perform rating on the online furniture retailer’s stock. The stock, currently trading at $72.54, has seen remarkable growth with a 65.79% gain year-to-date, according to InvestingPro data.

The price target increase follows what Bernstein SocGen described as "one of the better quarters from Wayfair," with the company beating revenue expectations in both U.S. and international markets. The $9.31 billion market cap company, which generated $12.01 billion in revenue over the last twelve months, saw flat orders year-over-year while average order value drove 5% growth.

Margin performance provided an upside surprise, particularly in advertising, which Bernstein SocGen attributed to returning organic demand. The firm noted that improved advertising metrics fundamentally imply better overall demand conditions for the retailer.

Bernstein SocGen indicated that Wayfair’s quarter-to-date revenue is trending up mid-single digits, with advertising leverage expected to persist year-over-year in Q3. The durability of mid-single-digit revenue growth and second-half tariff impacts remain key considerations for the company.

Despite the positive quarter and raised price target, Bernstein SocGen maintained its neutral Market Perform rating on Wayfair stock, suggesting continued caution about the company’s long-term outlook. Analyst targets currently range from $32 to $105, with InvestingPro offering 12 additional exclusive insights and a comprehensive analysis of Wayfair’s financial health.
