With the shares down sharply over the last few months but still showing strong 1 year gains, along with what appears to be a sizable discount to some valuation estimates, investors may ask whether there is meaningful upside remaining or if the market has already fully priced in the growth story.
Wayfair’s most followed narrative pegs fair value at $113.64 per share, compared with the last close at $74.18. This implies a sizeable valuation gap the market has yet to close, based on those assumptions.
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.
Want to see what underpins a fair value far above the current share price? The narrative leans on steady revenue gains, margin repair, and a rich future earnings multiple. Curious how those ingredients combine into that target.
Result: Fair Value of $113.64 (UNDERVALUED)

While the narratives point to Wayfair trading below some fair value estimates, the current P/S ratio of 0.8x tells a more cautious story. It sits above the US Specialty Retail industry average of 0.4x and above a fair ratio of 0.7x, even though it is below the 1.2x peer average. That gap suggests the upside case is not one way and that sentiment could shift if growth or profitability disappoints.
For a closer look at what this P/S gap could mean in practice, including how much room there might be for the ratio to move back toward the fair ratio, See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.
