Why This Question Matters

Revenue growth acceleration is the central test of the thesis. Management aspires to 20%+ growth but has delivered only 7-8%. Crossing 10% would suggest the turnaround is entering a growth phase. Staying below 10% would widen the narrative-reality gap flagged by the Myth Meter.

Resolution Criteria

Resolves YES if Wayfair reports FY2026 net revenue growth of 10% or higher YoY on a comparable basis (ex-Germany exit). Resolves NO if growth is below 10%.

Resolution Source

Wayfair FY2026 earnings release or 10-K filing

Source Trigger

Revenue grew 7.8% ex-Germany in FY2025 vs declining category; management aspires to 20%+ growth but evidence supports only 7-8%
