Warby Parker’s stock trades around $26 a share, up 11% in six months—roughly in line with the market—but investors are divided: is it a smart buy or a risky bet? Revenue hit $900M last year, but operating profits have barely covered costs for two years, despite solid gross margins. Growth efforts haven’t paid off—return on invested capital has averaged -33% over four years, meaning the company’s been losing money while expanding. At 54x projected earnings, the valuation is seen as fair by analysts, but confidence in future performance is low. Bottom line: Warby Parker isn’t a bad business, but it doesn’t meet the bar for top-tier investments—better opportunities exist elsewhere.
