What happened
Wayfair (W) stock rose about 10% to roughly $123 on Wednesday after the online home retailer beat third-quarter profit and sales forecasts, with U.S. sales growing 11.4%. Its adjusted profit (which leaves out some one-off costs) was $0.93 per share, well above the $0.79 analysts expected. Total sales rose 9.7% from a year ago to $3.42B. The furniture market overall was roughly flat, so Wayfair appears to be taking customers from rivals. It also earned a $62M profit, versus a $99M loss a year earlier.
Why it matters
Wayfair is one of the biggest online furniture sellers, and this report shows people are still spending on their homes even though the housing market is sluggish. Its sales grew faster than the furniture market, which points to it winning customers from competitors. It also kept more profit from each sale, with its best third-quarter margin on core earnings (EBITDA) since 2020. The stock moves sharply on news like this, so one good quarter is not a trend.
