Wayfair Inc. experienced a price increase of 6.07%, reaching a 5-day high, amid positive market conditions with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.94% and the S&P 500 up 0.56%.
This surge is attributed to the Trump administration's decision to delay the implementation of a 25% tariff on furniture until 2027, which alleviates pressure on Wayfair and the broader furniture industry. Analysts believe this delay will enhance Wayfair's market share growth potential, as it allows the company to maintain competitive pricing and consumer demand. Mizuho's analyst David Bellinger also highlighted a 29% upside potential for Wayfair shares, reinforcing investor confidence in the company's future performance.
The implications of this tariff delay are significant for Wayfair, as it positions the company favorably within the e-commerce furniture sector. With strong market demand and a solid business model, Wayfair is likely to continue benefiting from this favorable regulatory environment.

Equal Weight -> Overweight
Reason
Barclays analyst Seth Sigman upgraded Wayfair to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of $123, up from $104. The company's market share accelerated in 2025 and should continue in 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees the gains being driven by Wayfair's technology "replatforming" as well as loyalty initiatives and marketing changes. Wayfair's exposure to middle income consumers positions it to benefit from tax refunds this year, adds Barclays.

Outperform
Reason
Mizuho reiterates an Outperform rating on Wayfair after the Trump administration earlier this week moved to delay increasing certain tariff rates by one full year to January 1, 2027. Tariffs of 25% will remain in place for upholstered furniture instead of going to 30%, with kitchen cabinets and vanities also holding at 25%, instead of going to 50%, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuho views the news "as giving some breathing room" for the sector and for Wayfair. The firm expects "another leg higher" for Wayfair shares with lighter tariffs being seen as a positive. The stock in premarket trading is up 3% to $103.01.

Reason
Jefferies downgraded Wayfair to Hold from Buy with an unchanged price target of $94. The firm says that with its web traffic analysis indicating a slow start to the holiday shopping season for Wayfair and consumer survey data signaling a downshift in "go-forward buying propensity on the marketplace," the stock's risk/reward skews more balanced. The upside valuation case for the company is now less clear, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
