Will Wayfair report positive GAAP net income in any quarter of H2 2026?
Current Prediction
Why This Question Matters
GAAP profitability is the key resolution point for the Fugazi Filter's QUESTIONABLE assessment. With SBC at ~$300M+ annually, achieving GAAP net income requires enough operating leverage to absorb real compensation costs. Success would validate the turnaround; failure would confirm the non-GAAP/GAAP gap is structural.
