Truist cuts First Industrial Realty stock price target on FFO outlook

Truist cuts First Industrial Realty stock price target on FFO outlook

Truist Securities has increased its price target for Wayfair Inc. (NYSE:W) to $160 from $135, while retaining a Buy rating. The stock is currently trading near $123.42, close to its 52-week high of $122.12, following a 72% gain over the last six months. The company's third-quarter 2026 results exceeded expectations, and fourth-quarter 2026 guidance remains in line with previous forecasts.

Despite challenges in the home furnishings sector, Wayfair is gaining market share, according to Truist Securities. The firm anticipates high single-digit revenue growth and a 6% to 7% adjusted EBITDA margin for the fourth quarter of 2026. Wayfair's operational efficiency has improved, with strong performance in both online and physical stores.

Of the 8 analysts who have revised their earnings estimates upward for the current period, 8 have done so. However, InvestingPro's assessment suggests the stock is overvalued. Wayfair operates on a marketplace model with 22 million shoppers and 20,000 suppliers. The company boasts a comprehensive logistics network. Truist Securities also highlighted Wayfair's expanding list of AI partnerships with Google, OpenAI, and Meta, noting that the marketplace model is well-positioned for AI-driven discoveries and opportunities.

The company recently reported stronger-than-expected third-quarter 2026 financials, with adjusted earnings of $0.93 per share compared to the expected $0.79 per share. Revenue reached $3.42 billion, a 9.7% increase from the prior year. U.S. revenue grew by 11.4%, its strongest quarterly growth since early 2021. Raymond James also maintained a Strong Buy rating on Wayfair, reaffirming the company's accelerating U.S. revenue growth and market share gains.

The company's management emphasized this quarter as the strongest post-pandemic growth period to date.
