After the latest results, the 15 analysts covering Warby Parker are now predicting revenues of US$888.3m in 2025. If met, this would reflect a notable 15% improvement in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Earnings are expected to improve, with Warby Parker forecast to report a statutory profit of US$0.10 per share. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of US$872.4m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$0.087 in 2025. Although the revenue estimates have not really changed, we can see there's been a sizeable expansion in earnings per share expectations, suggesting that the analysts have become more bullish after the latest result.
The consensus price target rose 7.8% to US$27.36, suggesting that higher earnings estimates flow through to the stock's valuation as well. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Warby Parker at US$32.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$23.00. There are definitely some different views on the stock, but the range of estimates is not wide enough as to imply that the situation is unforecastable, in our view.
One way to get more context on these forecasts is to look at how they compare to both past performance, and how other companies in the same industry are performing. The period to the end of 2025 brings more of the same, according to the analysts, with revenue forecast to display 15% growth on an annualised basis. That is in line with its 14% annual growth over the past five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in a similar industry are forecast to see their revenues grow 5.1% per year. So although Warby Parker is expected to maintain its revenue growth rate, it's definitely expected to grow faster than the wider industry.
The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Warby Parker following these results. Fortunately, they also reconfirmed their revenue numbers, suggesting that it's tracking in line with expectations. Additionally, our data suggests that revenue is expected to grow faster than the wider industry. We note an upgrade to the price target, suggesting that the analysts believes the intrinsic value of the business is likely to improve over time.
Keeping that in mind, we still think that the longer term trajectory of the business is much more important for investors to consider. At Simply Wall St, we have a full range of analyst estimates for Warby Parker going out to 2027, and you can see them free on our platform here..
