Wayfair (W) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wayfair (W - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2021 results on May 6.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter sales is currently pegged at $3.38 billion, indicating an improvement of 45.2% from the year-ago reported figure.
Further, the consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 27 cents per share, up 8% over the past 30 days and indicating growth of 111.7% from the year-ago reported figure.
Wayfair beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 109.1%, on average.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch Out For
Wayfair’s first-quarter top line is expected to have benefited from an increase in online home-furnishing orders despite tough year-over-year comparison. Markedly, the company witnessed significant spike in demand due to the onset of COVID-19 in March last year.
Moreover, Wayfair is expected to have continued to add new customers in the to-be-reported quarter. Net active customers, which jumped 53.7% to 31.2 million in the fourth quarter, are expected to have continued the momentum in first-quarter 2021, driven by ongoing consumer migration to e-commerce.
Further, increasing usage of smartphones for e-commerce transactions amid the ongoing pandemic is expected to have resulted in high traffic and strong sales in the first quarter.
Wayfair’s continued investment is also expected to have aided in expanding its international footprint. Additionally, the company’s growing efforts for expanding house-brand offerings in the United Kingdom and North America are expected to have contributed to first-quarter performance.
Moreover, Wayfair’s gross margin guidance range of 26-28% implies year-over-year expansion. The company had reported gross margin of 24.9% in the year-ago quarter.
Additionally, the bottom line is expected to have benefited from lower operating expenses in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Indicates
Per the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.
Wayfair has an Earnings ESP of -20.37% and a Zacks Rank #3. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

More Stock News: This Is Bigger than the iPhone!
It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 77 billion devices by 2025, creating a $1.3 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 4 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2022.
