SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Wayfair, Inc. – W

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2015 / Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Wayfair, Inc. (“Wayfair” or the “Company”) (NYSE: W). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The investigation concerns whether Wayfair and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On August 31, 2015, Citron Research published a report entitled “Wayfair is the Most Mispriced Stock Citron Research Has Seen in Years.” The Citron report stated, in part, that: (1) Wayfair had deliberately refused to acknowledge Overstock as a competitor in its SEC filings, despite the similarities between the two companies, because “if they acknowledge Overstock as a comp, it becomes apparent to all that Wayfair’s stock is not worth more than $10 a share”; and (2) Wayfair’s CEO Niraj Shah described the company as profitable “for the first nine years of this business” in an August 13, 2015 interview, when the company, per its S-1 filing, had $190 million in cumulative losses before going public, “and the number has done nothing but escalate.”

On this news, Wayfair stock has fallen as much as 4.52, or 10.7%, on intraday trading on August 31, 2015.
