Wayfair Poised For Q2 Sales Beat On Strong Inventory, Vendor Promotions

Wayfair (NYSE:W) is gearing up to release its second-quarter earnings before the market opens on August 4, with expectations of surpassing Street estimates for both sales and profitability. On Monday, Bank of America Securities analyst Curtis Nagle reiterated a Neutral rating on Wayfair, setting a price forecast of $60. Nagle's projection of $3.15 billion in second-quarter sales surpasses the Street's consensus of $3.12 billion. This more bullish outlook is attributed to stronger-than-expected industry trends, increased inventory availability driven by higher utilization of Wayfair's CastleGate system, and effective vendor-funded analyst's EBITDA estimate of $153 million also exceeds the Street's $146 million, fueled by expectations of higher gross profit dollars due to greater flow-through and leverage from Selling, Operations, Technology, General & Administrative expenses, particularly from a right-sizing of the company's tech headcount. Supporting these positive trends, Bank of America's aggregated credit and debit card data indicated a slight improvement in online furniture spending, which declined by 0.8% year-over-year in the second quarter, compared to a 1.6% decline in the first quarter. Nagle suggests that these improving trends could signify a pull-forward in demand and increased promotional spending, although this might potentially come at the expense of industry sales later in the year. He further noted that accelerating web and app trends suggest Wayfair is continuing to gain market share, driven by better product availability and vendor-funded promotions. Consequently, Nagle raised his second-quarter sales estimate by 1% to $3.15 billion and his EBITDA estimate by 2%. Looking ahead to the third quarter, Nagle also increased his sales estimate by 1% to $2.86 billion, which aligns closely with the Street's estimate of $2.87 billion. This adjustment reflects the better-than-expected performance of consumer spending and the broader furnishings category. Furthermore, concerns regarding tariffs appear to be easing following Vietnam's trade deal, despite an August 1 deadline. The extended Black Friday in July event also indicates a healthy supply on the site, likely as vendors increasingly leverage CastleGate. Nagle sees this event as an additional opportunity for Wayfair to drive incremental sales. However, he maintained his fourth-quarter estimates, primarily due to tougher year-over-year comparisons. While tariff concerns are abating, they remain a significant point of discussion for Wayfair. As such, topics on the upcoming earnings call are likely to revolve around the potential impact of tariffs on second-half 2025 trends and how vendors are navigating these challenges, particularly through CastleGate, vendor-funded promotions, and renegotiations. Nagle observed that the current share price already reflects the potential upside from easing tariffs and healthy supply trends. Price Action: Wayfair shares are trading lower by 1.51% to $55.59 at last check Monday.

Why Globus Medical (GMED) Shares Are Trading Lower Today

What Happened? Shares of medical device company Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED) fell 6.6% in the afternoon session after the unexpected resignation of its President and CEO, Daniel Scavilla. The medical device company announced that Scavilla resigned effective July 18 to pursue another opportunity. He will be replaced by Keith Pfeil, who was promoted from his role as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. While the company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance for revenue and earnings per share, the sudden change in the corner office appears to have unsettled investors, leading to the stock's decline. The departure introduces a level of uncertainty, even with a well-regarded internal successor and positive sales momentum. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Globus Medical? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Globus Medical's shares are not very volatile and have only had 7 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 2 months ago when the stock gained 5.8% on the news that the major indices popped (Nasdaq +3.4%, S&P 500 +2.5%) in response to the positive outcome of U.S.-China trade negotiations, as both sides agreed to pause some tariffs for 90 days, signaling a potential turning point in ongoing tensions. This rollback cut U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods to 30% and Chinese tariffs on U.S. imports to 10%, giving companies breathing room to reset inventories and supply chains. However, President Trump clarified that tariffs could go "substantially higher" if a full deal with China wasn't reached during the 90-day pause, but not all the way back to the previous levels. Still, the agreement cooled fears of a prolonged trade war, helped stabilize expectations for global growth and trade flows and fueled renewed optimism. The optimism appeared concentrated in key trade-sensitive sectors, particularly technology, retail, and industrials, as lower tariffs reduce cost pressures and restore cross-border demand. Globus Medical is down 35.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $52.69 per share, it is trading 43.5% below its 52-week high of $93.32 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Globus Medical's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,102.

Cushman & Wakefield (CWK) Stock Is Up, What You Need To Know

What Happened? Shares of real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE:CWK) jumped 4.1% in the afternoon session after analysts at Citizens JMP initiated coverage on the firm with a "Market Outperform" rating. The investment firm set a price target of $15.00, suggesting a significant potential upside of over 34% from the stock's current price. The bullish outlook is based on the view that Cushman & Wakefield is no longer held back by its balance sheet, following a leadership change in 2023 that prioritized strengthening the company's financial position. Analysts at Citizens JMP believe the company's extensive global platform, which includes about 400 offices in 60 countries, is underappreciated by the market. They anticipate that recent hiring and a strategic focus on growth will lead to market share gains in its leasing and capital markets divisions, ultimately expanding profit margins. This new coverage provides a fresh, positive perspective for investors, suggesting the stock's current valuation may not fully reflect its recent operational improvements and growth potential. After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $11.65, up 4.2% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Cushman & Wakefield? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Cushman & Wakefield's shares are quite volatile and have had 16 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. Cushman & Wakefield is down 7.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $11.65 per share, it is trading 24.8% below its 52-week high of $15.48 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Cushman & Wakefield's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,031. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
