According to the filed complaint,  throughout the Class  Period Defendants made  false and/or misleading statements and/or failed  to disclose that Wayfair had been experiencing significantly diminished demand for its online product  offerings and had  significantly increased  advertising  spending to  grow sales. 

As  a result of Defendants’ false statements and/or omissions, the price of  Wayfair stock was artificially inflated to more  than $149.00 per share during the Class Period. Meanwhile, with the price of Wayfair  common  stock  artificially inflated, certain of its  senior executives and  directors cashed in,  selling more than $87.75 million worth of their personally held shares.

Then, on November 1, 2018, Wayfair announced its third quarter 2018  financial results. The Company reported a massive  $151.7 million GAAP net loss for the quarter, or $(1.69) per share, compared with a GAAP loss of $76.4 million, or $(0.88) per share, for the third quarter of 2017.  In reality, advertising expenses  had  skyrocketed  in the  third quarter of  2018 to  more than  $202.5 million, an increase of 43%.

On this news, Wayfair stock  fell $14.13  per share,  or over 12%, from  its previous closing  price to  close at  $96.16 per  share on  November 1,  2018.
