Here’s whether Wayfair Inc. (W) is worth buying in 2026 —
based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
🟡
Caution
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); strong 1-year return of +223.5%. Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-7.54% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-29.3%). Currently 32.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -2/7.
W is trading below its 200-day MA ($86.01) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 66.6 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +223.5% compares to +35.1% for SPY (beat the market by 188.4%). The current 32.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
