Wayfair Inc plunged to its lowest levels of the year after the online home-goods retailer gave a disappointing outlook for the critical holiday quarter.
The shares fell 17% to $84.23 in New York, their lowest since December 26. The company said on its conference call with analysts and investors that it expects fourth-quarter net revenue of $2.48 billion to $2.525 billion, missing even the lowest of analyst estimates. Gross margin is expected to fall in the range of 23% to 24%, while analysts on average were looking for 24.1%.
Wedbush said investors were worried about the company’s profitability and growth outlook, and Credit Suisse cautioned about near-term tariff headwinds.
