Wayfair Q3 2026: Revenue accelerates to 9.7% growth with GAAP operating income of $106M as advertising leverage and order volume drive margin expansion

Wayfair delivered Q3 2026 net revenue of $3.42 billion, up 9.7% year-over-year, with U.S. revenue growing 11.4% while international declined 2.3% in reported terms. Operating income reached $106 million versus $38 million in Q3 2025, driven by advertising leverage (9.9% of revenue vs. 10.6% prior year) and lower restructuring charges, while gross margin compressed 40 basis points to 29.6% due to customer experience investments. Active customers grew to 22.2 million and orders delivered rose to 11.0 million, with 80% of orders from repeat buyers, confirming the platform's retention dynamic is intact.
