Wayfair Inc's stock plummeted over 5% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the online furniture retailer's disappointing fourth-quarter earnings report where it posted a larger-than-anticipated loss. The company reported an adjusted loss per share of $0.25 for Q4 2024, missing analysts' consensus estimate of a $0.02 loss.
While Wayfair's revenue of $3.1 billion managed to beat expectations of $3.065 billion, it wasn't enough to offset the earnings miss. The company's widening net loss raises questions about its profitability and growth prospects, despite the slight top-line beat.
The lackluster earnings performance weighed heavily on Wayfair's stock price in pre-market trading, as investors reacted negatively to the wider-than-expected loss. The pre-market sell-off suggests growing concerns in the market about Wayfair's ability to achieve sustained profitability and meet growth targets.
