A possible way to rewrite the introduction is:
Wayfair Inc. shares are falling sharply on Friday, after the online furniture retailer reported disappointing second-quarter earnings and lowered its sales guidance for the full year. The company missed both revenue and earnings estimates, as it faced headwinds from the pandemic, the economic slowdown, and the increased competition in the home goods market. Analysts have reacted negatively to the results, cutting their price targets and reducing their expectations for Wayfair's profitability and growth. However, some analysts still see potential for Wayfair to bounce back and gain market share, as it invests in price and service to attract customers and improve its margin. This article will examine the main factors that contributed to Wayfair's poor performance and the outlook for the company's future.
