Company

Company overview

BED BATH & BEYOND, INC., since renamed NEIGHBORHOOD INTELLIGENCE, INC., sells home and lifestyle products to U.S. consumers through its websites and mobile apps. Most revenue comes from online home-furnishing sales. Bed Bath & Beyond offers home products, while Overstock emphasizes discounted merchandise for deal seekers. The company also owns buybuy BABY, though that brand contributes little to the business, and sells add-on services such as warranties and installation.

Customers pay the company for their purchases, but partners supply the inventory and fulfill the vast majority of transactions. Even company warehouses mainly handle goods owned by partners. This makes product availability and partner fulfillment central to the business; supplier agreements are generally non-exclusive and do not guarantee continuing availability. Bringing shoppers to its sites also matters: search, email and social marketing generate a substantial share of revenue, and Google has historically supplied significant website traffic.

The company also holds minority investments indirectly through Medici Ventures, L.P. To avoid being required to register as an investment company, it may have to forgo otherwise desirable transactions or structure them less favorably.

Bed Bath & Beyond’s results hinge on home-goods demand and online traffic; watch The Brand House Collective for its physical-retail expansion through their investment and store-licensing relationship and pending merger.

  • Wayfair competes with Bed Bath & Beyond for online shoppers buying furniture, décor and housewares, making it a close comparison for U.S. online home-goods demand. Watch Wayfair’s sales to those shoppers for signs of demand in Bed Bath & Beyond’s core categories.

  • Williams-Sonoma competes with Bed Bath & Beyond for household spending on furniture, kitchenware and home furnishings, selling through websites as well as stores. Its online home-product sales offer a comparison for demand, while its stores provide another way to reach those customers.

  • Bobs Discount Furniture, Inc. competes with Bed Bath & Beyond for U.S. households buying affordable bedroom, living-room and dining furniture. Its sales of these products help gauge demand among value-seeking furniture shoppers, with showrooms complementing its online offering.

  • TJX Companies competes with Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock for bargain-seeking customers through its HomeGoods and Homesense stores selling discounted home furnishings and décor. Watch its HomeGoods business for spending by customers seeking home-product deals rather than its broader apparel sales.

  • Amazon competes with Bed Bath & Beyond for online purchases, including home goods, by selling products itself and letting third-party sellers reach shoppers. Watch its retail pricing, selection and delivery offering: these are the dimensions on which Bed Bath & Beyond must compete for online customers.

  • Arhaus competes with Bed Bath & Beyond in furniture, lighting, textiles and décor, but targets premium buyers through showrooms and online sales. Its home-furnishing sales provide a view of discretionary demand at the premium end, rather than the discount shoppers served by Overstock.

  • Ethan Allen competes with Bed Bath & Beyond for furniture, lighting, rugs and home accents, while emphasizing customizable products and complimentary interior design. Watch its sales to customers seeking tailored furnishings for a different view of household furniture spending from Bed Bath & Beyond’s broad online assortment.

  • GigaCloud shares exposure to furniture demand with Bed Bath & Beyond from a different part of the transaction: it helps manufacturers sell to resellers and deliver goods to households, while Bed Bath & Beyond sells to consumers with partners fulfilling orders. GigaCloud’s wholesale marketplace activity offers a view of furniture trade, not evidence of a supplier relationship with Bed Bath & Beyond.
