Bear Of The Day RH (RH)

Read MoreHide Full Article

RH is the new name for Restoration Hardware (RH - Free Report) which recently beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for EPS and revenue, yet the stock is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) and is the Bear of the Day.  Let’s take a look at why that is the case.

Description

RH sells home furnishings. It offers products in various categories, such as furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, decor, outdoor and garden, tableware, and child and teen furnishings. As of October 29, 2016, it operated 85 retail galleries that include 51 legacy galleries, 6 larger format design galleries, 7 next generation design galleries, 1 RH modern gallery, and 5 RH baby & child galleries throughout the United States and Canada; 15 Waterworks showrooms in the United States and the United Kingdom; and 28 outlet stores. The company was formerly known as Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. and changed its name to RH in January 2017. RH was founded in 1979 and is headquartered in Corte Madera, California.

Earnings Beats

You don’t normally see a company beat the estimate like RH has done in each of the last two quarters and see them being the Bear of the Day.  As the aggressive growth strategist at Zacks, I search far and wide for revenue beats like RH has posted.  The July 2016 quarter saw a 5% positive revenue surprise and the October 2016 quarter saw a 3% positive revenue surprise.

Estimates

The reason that RH is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) is the downward revision to earnings estimates.  The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2016 fell from $1.63 in November to $1.24 in December and has remained there in January.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2017 slid from $2.34  in November to $2.01 in December and then kicked lower again to $1.99 in January.
