Analysis:
rates Wayfair as a
. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been poor profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The gross profit margin for WAYFAIR INC is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 25.32%. Regardless of W's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -2.60% trails the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed compared to the Internet & Catalog Retail industry average, but is greater than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 35.9% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$24.14 million to -$15.48 million.
- Compared to other companies in the Internet & Catalog Retail industry and the overall market, WAYFAIR INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- W has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.07, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- Net operating cash flow has improved to $51.50 million from having none in the same quarter last year. Since the company had no net operating cash flow for the prior period, we cannot calculate a percent change in order to compare its growth rate with that of its industry average.
