RH, together with its subsidiaries, operates as a retailer in the home furnishings and operates under RH Galleries and RH brand names in the District of Columbia and Canada, as well as Waterworks showrooms throughout the United States and the United Kingdom. It offers products in various categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and child and teen furnishings. The company provides its products through its retail galleries; online through rh.com, rhbabyandchild.com, rhteen.com, and rhmodern.com, as well as waterworks.com, and Source Books, a series of catalogs. The company was formerly known as Restoration Hardware Holdings, Inc. and changed its name to RH in January 2017. RH was incorporated in 2011 and is headquartered in Corte Madera, California.

For RH, the balance between a premium valuation and weak operating resilience is noticeably tilted toward risk. On valuation multiples, the company looks expensive on P/E, P/S, and especially P/B, which indicates high market expectations and limits re-rating potential. At the same time, P/FCF is below the industry median, which partially supports the valuation, but this advantage does not offset the weakness in earnings and balance sheet quality. Revenue trends over the recent periods are rather negative: sales declined from around 899 million to 800 million, suggesting pressure on demand or pricing realization. Gross margin remains high and stable, and operating margin is even above the industry median, which is a strength of the business. However, net margin is below the median, and net income and EPS look volatile, including a negative EPS in the latest TTM, which worsens earnings quality. ROA and ROI are noticeably below the industry, meaning assets and capital are not being used as efficiently as one would like for a company at this valuation. Formally, ROE is very high, but against the backdrop of extremely low equity and a heavy debt burden, this figure looks distorted and should not be seen as a sign of sustainable profitability. Liquidity is weak: the quick ratio is significantly below normal, and the current ratio is only slightly above 1, leaving limited cushion. Long-term debt remains very high, and the debt/equity ratio is extremely large, so financial risk for shareholders is elevated. Shareholders’ equity remains positive after a period of negative values, which is better than before, but its size is still very small relative to assets and liabilities. Overall, the fundamentals present a mixed picture: operating profitability is decent, but revenue growth, earnings quality, liquidity, and leverage do not support the premium valuation. For an investor, this means the current price already reflects much of the business’s strengths, while weaknesses in the balance sheet and earnings may limit upside over a one-year horizon.

Средний индекс, значительно упал. Отток средств из лонгов резко увеличился и находится на высоком уровне.

Medium index, significantly down. The outflow of funds from longs has increased sharply and is at a high level.

RH maintains a strong operating margin, but weak liquidity, high debt burden, and unstable profitability limit valuation potential.

RH (RH) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.7 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.42 per share. This compares to earnings of $2.93 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +542.86%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this furniture and housewares company would post a loss of $2.13 per share when it actually produced a loss of $1.97, delivering a surprise of +7.51%.

This compares to year-ago revenues of $899.15 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
RH shares have lost about 22.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11.6%.
What's Next for RH?
While RH has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for RH was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.89 on $964 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.66 on $3.62 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Consumer Products - Staples is currently in the bottom 24% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the broader Zacks Consumer Staples sector, Constellation Brands (STZ), is yet to report results for the quarter ended August 2026.
This wine, liquor and beer company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.63 per share in its upcoming report, which represents no change from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Constellation Brands' revenues are expected to be $2.57 billion, up 3.8% from the year-ago quarter.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

After-Hours Earnings Report for September 10, 2026 : ORCL, ADBE, CPRT, DSGX, RH, LPTH, ZUMZ, AENT

RH RH is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended Aug. 1, 2026) results on Sept. 10, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted loss per share of $1.97 was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $2.13 by 7.5%. In the year-ago quarter, RH reported adjusted earnings of 13 cents per share. Net revenues of $800.3 million topped the consensus estimate by 1.1% but declined 1.7% year over year.
RH’s earnings surpassed estimates in only one of the trailing four quarters and missed on the other three occasions, but the average surprise was negative 12.8%.
How Are Estimates Placed for RH Stock?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal second quarter indicates earnings of 42 cents per share, which has declined from 79 cents over the past 30 days. In the year-ago period, the company reported earnings of $2.93 per share.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $914.2 million, indicating a 1.7% year-over-year growth.
RH Price and EPS Surprise
Factors Likely to Have Shaped RH’s Q2 Performance
Assessing the Sales Environment: RH’s fiscal second-quarter revenue performance is likely to have remained constrained by a difficult housing backdrop, tariff-related sourcing disruptions and elevated backorder and special-order balances. Management expects these balances to remain unusually high in the fiscal second quarter before normalizing later in fiscal 2026. Accordingly, RH guided for fiscal second-quarter revenue growth of 0.5% to 2.5%, suggesting only modest top-line improvement during the period.
Despite these pressures, RH’s luxury positioning, international expansion and broader product transformation may have supported demand. The company has been building its presence across key European luxury markets, with Paris and Milan ramping up and London viewed by management as a potential accelerator for the international business. RH also continued expanding its trade platform and introducing higher-end customization through RH Bespoke Furniture and RH Couture Upholstery.
However, the larger benefits from RH Estates, backlog conversion and new-store growth are expected to be weighted toward the second half of fiscal 2026 rather than the fiscal second quarter. Management expects these initiatives to collectively drive a meaningful acceleration later in the year.
Factors Affecting Profitability: Profitability is likely to have remained under pressure from RH’s elevated investment cycle. Management guided for a fiscal second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.5% to 13%, including an estimated 380-basis-point negative impact from pre-opening and startup expenses related to international expansion. Management indicated that a meaningful portion of these opening-related costs is transitory and should ease in the second half.
Overall, RH’s second-quarter results are expected to reflect modest revenue growth alongside continued near-term margin pressure from international investments and sourcing disruptions.

BBB Foods (TBBB) Reports Q2 Loss, Beats Revenue Estimates

Key Points
SoundHound has a big opportunity if it can convert LivePerson's customers to its platform.
With the luxury furniture market potentially set to rebound, RH could be a great way to play this turnaround.
Supermicro is a stock I'd continue to avoid given its low margins and its continual run-ins with regulators.
When a stock is heavily shorted, it can be a warning sign for investors. However, if these stocks defy expectations, short covering can be the launching pad for a strong run.
Let's look at two stocks with heavy short interest I'd consider buying: artificial intelligence (AI) voice company SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) and luxury furniture brand RH (NYSE: RH). One I'd avoid is Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI).
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Consider buying SoundHound AI stock
With over 40% short interest, SoundHound AI is one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the market. Valuation could be one reason why, with the stock trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 10 times 2027 analyst estimates. However, the bigger reason is likely its pending merger with LivePerson.
LivePerson is a distressed company with heavy debt, so the deal carries significant risks. However, SoundHound isn't paying a hefty price tag, and it could be a calculated risk worth taking. Meanwhile, it will seek to quickly retire LivePerson's discounted debt at deal close through a mix of cash and equity.
LivePerson will give SoundHound a large, established customer base to which it can upsell a more comprehensive solution based on its AI voice technology and agentic AI platform. Essentially, SoundHound is buying customer relationships and looking to incorporate its technology to enter the lucrative call center and customer service spaces.
While the shorts are eyeing a potential equity raise to pay off LivePerson's debt as a catalyst for the stock to decline, if SoundHound can stabilize churn and convert enterprises to its platform, the deal could become a home run that sends the stock significantly higher.
Consider buying RH stock
The home furnishing industry has struggled since the pandemic, and with RH aggressively expanding in Europe with lavish, expensive new stores, it is easy to see why RH is a popular short. However, the company's more than 30% short interest could be the rocket fuel to take this stock higher.
RH's CEO Gary Friedman is one of the most respected executives in the home furnishings industry. In addition to his bold bet on Europe, he is introducing one of the company's biggest brand extensions ever: RH Estates. This will be a more traditional furniture line, aimed at wealthy homeowners, and will include bespoke, custom-made collections for the ultra-wealthy and design professionals. This will be a high-margin business that Friedman believes could become RH's biggest growth driver in the coming years.
While investors are betting against RH, commentary from online furniture retailer Wayfair could be a good omen for the company. Wayfair recently came out and said its luxury furniture segment was booming, with its high-end Perigold brand seeing 35% revenue growth in the second quarter. If the high end of the furniture market is rebounding, RH could be a great way to play it, especially given its high short interest.
You may want to avoid Super Micro Computer
With a 15% short interest, Super Micro Computer is another heavily shorted stock, and it is one I would continue to avoid on the long side. The company actually gave a very strong update for its fiscal Q4, with its gross margins of 15% to 17% now projected to be much higher than its guidance of 8.2% to 8.4%. At the same time, revenue is soaring as it benefits from the AI infrastructure build-out.
However, at the end of the day, Supermicro is a low-margin middleman that continues to be clouded in controversy. With Nvidia and AMD moving more toward providing complete end-to-end servers, the little proprietary value that it gives should start to fade. Meanwhile, the company has a history of questionable accounting and run-ins with regulators. There are just better ways to play the AI infrastructure build-out, which is why I'd avoid the stock.

RH is a prominent specialty retailer in the consumer cyclical sector with a market capitalization of $3.1 billion. The company has generated $3.4 billion in TTM revenue with net income of $103.1 million, reflecting its position as a significant player in the premium home furnishings market. RH's competitive advantage derives from its curated product selection, distinctive retail experience across multiple channels, and strong brand positioning in the high-end home furnishings segment.
What this transaction means for investors
Demilio trimmed a small block from his indirect holdings and still controls 57,698 shares split across a revocable trust, a family trust, and a direct stake. A long-tenured director shaving 4% off a position mostly held in trust vehicles is the kind of estate-planning move that says nothing about where RH is headed. Worth a small note, though: there's no 10b5-1 plan mentioned, so the timing was discretionary, and he did sell at $168.44, a premium to that day's close.
Coincidentally enough, CEO Gary Friedman reported the sale of “a small portion” of his common stock — 24% of his holdings — earlier this month, prompting a release from the company, which said the move was to help fund improvements to personal residences and the repayment of debt. Shares surged nearly 8% on Tuesday (just four days after the transaction), so it’s clear the stock is in a volatile position, with shares still down about 14% in the year ending Tuesday.
The business is in a similarly tricky but improving spot. Fiscal first-quarter revenue slipped 1.7% to $800.3 million, hurt by roughly $45 million in tariff-related backorders, but RH raised its full-year outlook to 4.5% to 8% revenue growth. Friedman told investors he expects growth to accelerate from roughly flat in the first half to around 12% in the second half as backlog clears. For long-term investors, the insider sale is minor. The real questions are whether that second-half acceleration shows up, and whether RH's debt-heavy balance sheet can carry its costly international expansion.
