    Wayfair (W) has had a choppy run lately, but the stock’s longer track record and recent swings set up an interesting question for investors: is this pullback a chance to reassess its story?

    See our latest analysis for Wayfair.

    After a huge rebound this year, with the year to date share price return topping triple digits and the 3 year total shareholder return also strongly positive, recent pullbacks from around $97 suggest momentum is cooling a little as investors reassess how sustainable the growth and margin story really is.

    If Wayfair’s volatility has you thinking more broadly about opportunity, this could be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

    With the share price still below analyst targets yet sitting on hefty multi year gains, is Wayfair now trading at a discount to its renewed fundamentals, or has the market already priced in the next leg of growth?

    Most Popular Narrative: 14.6% Undervalued

    With Wayfair closing at $97.31 versus a widely followed fair value of $114, the core debate centers on how durable its growth and margin ambitions really are.

    The analysts have a consensus price target of $81.207 for Wayfair based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $105.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $51.0.

    However, the thesis hinges on a fragile macro backdrop and housing market, where weak demand or higher rates could quickly derail those optimistic margin and growth assumptions.

    Another View: Multiples Tell a Tougher Story

    While the narrative points to a 14.6% upside, the price to sales lens is less generous. Wayfair trades around 1x sales versus a 0.7x fair ratio and a 0.5x industry average, even if it still looks cheaper than peers at 1.3x. Is sentiment already running ahead of fundamentals?
