Are RH's New Design Galleries Set to Drive Global Brand Value?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
RH plans six new design galleries in 2025, including major global openings in Paris and Montreal.
International demand surged 60% in RH Munich and RH Dusseldorf, boosting confidence in European expansion.
RH trades at 16.34x forward P/E, a discount to WSM, despite projected FY25 EPS growth of nearly 100%.
RH (RH - Free Report) , previously known as Restoration Hardware, is currently undertaking several in-house initiatives to enhance its revenue visibility and profitability prospects amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The main strategic efforts include global expansion, among other initiatives, a customer-friendly membership approach and supply-chain optimization. The global expansion through new retail design galleries is likely to be boding well for the company, strengthening its long-term prospects.
RH is mainly seeking untapped markets and capitalizing on those opportunities by opening new design galleries with the aim of expanding market share and brand visibility. For the remainder of 2025, RH expects to open six Design galleries. For the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the scheduled gallery opening includes RH Montreal, with RH Oklahoma City opening already announced in June-end 2025. For the second half of the year, the scheduled openings are in RH Paris, RH Detroit, RH Manhasset, RH San Diego and RH Palm Desert.
Although the market in the United States is currently risky due to housing demand softness and tariff-related ambiguity, RH is cashing out of the international market, especially Europe. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the company witnessed demand growing 60% across RH Munich and RH Dusseldorf, with continued growth noticed across noncomparable galleries in RH Brussels and RH Madrid. Owing to these robust trends, RH remains optimistic about the September 2025 opening in Paris, alongside another two openings in London and Milan in 2026.
In the long term, RH targets to open seven-nine new galleries annually, with two-three Design Studios or Outdoor galleries, or new concept galleries per year. By reaching such annual targets, it will be able to enhance its existing market presence and explore unreached markets.
