Factors to Note
RH’s fiscal first-quarter results are likely to be affected by high mortgage rates and tepid demand. While RH primarily caters to affluent households, it has been encountering challenges due to increased interest rates and a softening luxury housing market, affecting its demand dynamics. Additionally, higher expenses, including international openings and clearance pressure, are expected to have weighed on results.
Nonetheless, the company has been working on various strategies to elevate and enhance the RH brand image, which is expected to have contributed to the quarterly performance. RH’s strategy to digitally reimagine the RH brand and business model both internally and externally bodes well.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s Furniture unit is currently pegged at $502 million, which depicts an improvement from $496 million a year ago. The same for the non-furniture unit is pegged at $215 million for the quarter, down from $243 million a year ago.
