W · US
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 8 valuation models · updated yesterday
Share price +14.0% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 89% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($20.16). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($2.76 to $20.16). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (51/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $24.14 – $333.00 · fair‑value band $2.76 – $20.16 · the $101.13 price screens above the $11.46 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Wayfair Inc (W) currently trades at $101.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $11.46, implying the stock looks roughly 88.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Wayfair Inc generated revenue of $12.7B at a net margin of -2.4%. Revenue grew 7.4% year over year. Net debt stands at $2.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $2.76 (bear case) to $20.16 (bull case); at $101.13, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 16% below its 52-week high and 122% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -52% fair-value upside, at -89%, W screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 8 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($39.35) versus Growth DCF ($7.71). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
