Wayfair Sees U.S. Furniture Demand Recovery, Shares Jump 18%

Summary
Wayfair's Q2 results show a clear inflection in U.S. furniture demand — the first quarter of flat to positive category growth since 2021, per CEO Niraj Shah. Revenue rose 7.5% to $3.52B, beating estimates, driven by 9% U.S. growth and a 35% surge in luxury brand Perigold. International remains a drag with a 1.3% sales decline. The company swung to a GAAP loss of $1M, but adjusted EPS of $0.95 beat by $0.05. Shares jumped 18% pre-market. Q3 guidance calls for high single-digit sales growth, though gross margins will be pressured by loyalty program investments. This follows the earlier earnings release but adds management's detailed demand commentary and the strong market reaction.
