What Happened?
Wayfair (W) stock got a vote of confidence after Bernstein SocGen Group reaffirmed its Outperform rating and $125 price target, following an upgrade to Outperform earlier this month.
The firm believes U.S. eCommerce trends have strengthened this year and that Wayfair could beat Wall Street’s growth expectations heading into 2027.
Bernstein projects roughly 10% consolidated revenue growth for Wayfair next year, with the U.S. business growing close to 11%, well above the consensus estimate of 7.5%.
That’s a meaningful gap between Bernstein’s view and where most analysts currently sit. The firm pointed to company-specific growth drivers like Wayfair Rewards, expansion into physical stores, and ongoing improvements to the shopping experience as reasons Wayfair could outperform even without a stronger overall market.
Bernstein also noted that Street numbers aren’t set particularly high right now, which leaves room for positive earnings revisions if Wayfair lands anywhere in the middle of analyst estimates.
Supporting that optimism, 13 analysts have already raised their earnings estimates for the upcoming period, with price targets across Wall Street ranging from $83 to $156.
Needham also raised its target to $133 from $83 while keeping a Buy rating, citing continued growth momentum.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Wayfair Stock
Wayfair stock has already delivered a 27% return over the past six months, and Bernstein’s renewed bullishness suggests some analysts still see room to run.
That said, not everyone agrees the stock is cheap here. Some valuation analysis suggests Wayfair may be trading above its fair value at current levels.
The bullish case is supported by Wayfair’s Q2 results. Revenue grew 7.5% year-over-year to $3.52 billion, with the U.S. segment accelerating to nearly 9% growth, the best pace the company has seen in the entire post-COVID period.
Active customers grew more than 3%, and orders were up 6% year-over-year, marking the strongest sequential order growth for a Q2 since 2020.
Management pointed to several initiatives building momentum at once. The Perigold luxury brand grew more than 35% in the quarter and is now doing over $400 million a year in sales.
The company also opened new physical stores, expanded its loyalty program, and leaned into AI tools to cut costs on things like product imagery. Adjusted EBITDA margin hit 6.9%, the best level since 2021, while free cash flow came in at $301 million, up more than 30% year-over-year.
CFO Kate Gulliver guided to high single-digit revenue growth for Q3, above the mid-single-digit pace the company had guided to in prior periods.
With Bernstein now modeling double-digit growth for 2027 and multiple company-specific catalysts still in early innings, investors will be watching closely to see whether Wayfair stock’s recent momentum can keep pace with these more ambitious estimates.
