Company snapshot
RH offers a broad portfolio of home furnishings, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden products, and child and teen furnishings.
The company generates revenue through direct-to-consumer retail channels, including physical galleries, outlet stores, catalogs, and e-commerce platforms.
It targets affluent residential customers seeking premium home furnishings and design-driven products across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
RH is a leading specialty retailer in the home furnishings sector, operating a multi-channel platform that integrates physical retail galleries, digital commerce, and curated catalogs. The company’s strategy emphasizes differentiated design, premium product assortments, and immersive retail experiences to capture share in the high-end home market. RH’s competitive edge lies in its brand positioning, distinctive merchandising, and ability to serve design-oriented consumers seeking luxury home solutions.
What this transaction means for investors
One reason for the poor performance of RH stock over the past year has been added costs due to tariffs. Yet management has done a good job navigating a tough environment. Third-quarter revenue rose 9% despite what the company called “the worst housing market in almost 50 years, and the polarizing impact of tariffs.”
Investors have begun to recognize the strength of the business, even with the overhang of sluggish operating margins from higher tariff effects than anticipated. Shares have jumped 13.5% to start off 2026. That is likely due to the belief that the tariff picture is becoming more clear.
Earlier this month, President Trump paused a previously announced increase on tariffs for upholstered furniture. That gave investors a reason to buy the dip in RH shares.
With the additional shares, RH now accounts for 2.07% of Greatmark’s AUM, still leaving it outside the fund's top five holdings. There does seem to be more potential upside for RH, too. Signs of a housing recovery would likely cause the stock to jump again. Those who want a stake in housing and furniture stocks may want to start a position before that occurs.

Why 1 Fund Is Loading Up on RH Stock

Key Points
The recently announced November retail report showed that consumers continue to spend.
There were a number of strong categories in the report, which could help drive the stocks of companies in those areas.
Home furnishings and home improvement remain weak, which would stall the recent rallies these stocks have seen.
Retail and consumer stocks got some good news when the U.S. Census Bureau recently reported retail sales numbers for November. Retail sales grew 0.6% month over month and 3.1% year over year, while core retail sales, which exclude auto-related sales and gasoline, increased 0.4% month over month and 4.4% versus a year ago.
Let's look at some potential winners and losers from the report, starting with the winners.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
Amazon
Nonstore retailers, which include e-commerce companies like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), saw their sales rise 7.2% in November. As the largest company in the e-commerce space, this likely bodes well for Amazon, with its recent sales momentum continuing.
On top of that, the company has been seeing growth in its sponsored ad business, as well as strong operating leverage in its retail operations due to efficiencies from its use of robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Throw in accelerating growth from its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Amazon's stock looks well positioned to bounce back in 2026.
Nike and Dick's Sporting Goods
Two of the best performing categories in the November retail report were sporting goods stores, which saw a 7.8% increase in November sales. Clothing stores were up 7.5%. Combine that with strong insider buying at the company in late December, and that could be a good sign that Nike's (NYSE: NKE) turnaround is starting to take hold.
On the inside buying front, CEO Elliot Hill bought more than $1 million in shares, while Nike director and Apple CEO Tim Cook purchased nearly $3 million in Nike stock.
Nike has started to see sales turn around in North America and Europe this fiscal year, but it still needs to improve its business in China and recover lost gross margins caused by discounting and tariffs. However, its turnaround seems headed in the right direction.
Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) also looks like a solid potential winner from the November sales report. The company's core business has been solid, as it's leaned into more experiential experiences to draw in customers.
However, it's currently absorbing its recent acquisition of Foot Locker and working to improve that business by shuttering underperforming stores and clearing out stale inventory. The company has set a low bar with guidance, so the setup could be solid moving forward.
E.l.f Beauty
Another potential winner from the November retail report is e.l.f. Beauty (NYSE: ELF). Health and personal care stores, which include both pharmacies and beauty retailers, saw sales rise a robust 6.7% year over year in November. That bodes well for e.l.f. since its products are sold through both these outlets.
E.l.f.'s namesake brand has long been taking market share in this space, while it recently acquired Rhode, which had a strong debut at LVMH's Sephora stores in September. With mass cosmetic sales rebounding and a long runway of growth with Rhode, the setup for e.l.f. looks solid in 2026.
Toast
Another strong category from the November retail report was food services and drinking places, which saw their sales rise 4.9% year over year. This should benefit restaurant software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider Toast (NYSE: TOST), which also benefits from its customers' increasing sales through its payment processing solutions. The company is growing quickly by adding new locations, and rising restaurant sales should be another tailwind for the company.
Potential losers
While the November retail report was strong overall, not every category was a winner. Furniture stores and building material and garden supply dealers both saw negative sales growth, with sales down 1.4% and 2.8%, respectively.
This likely will continue to weigh on furniture sales of companies like RH (NYSE: RH), which is trying to navigate an expensive European expansion during a difficult home furnishings market.
RH stock is off to a blistering start in 2026 after the White House announced it was delaying some increased furniture tariffs until 2027, but the market remains difficult.
Meanwhile, Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) have both struggled with same-store sales growth the past few years. Both stocks have also had strong starts to 2026, but time will tell if that will continue, given the ongoing pressures in the industry.

How Berkshire's Retail Arm Drives Its Service and Retailing Business

Key Points
Furniture retailers will benefit from Trump's decision to delay further increasing tariffs on imported furniture.
The housing market looks set for a modest rebound, which would drive higher spending on home furnishings.
A recovery in consumer discretionary spending would also be good for RH and Wayfair.
Two stocks surged Monday in the wake of President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement, and both now may be positioned for a great 2026.
I'm talking about online home furnishings retailer Wayfair (NYSE: W) and luxury furniture retailer RH (NYSE: RH).

On the last day of 2025, the White House announced it was delaying the previously announced tariff increases for upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities for another year.
In September, Trump announced 25% tariffs on furniture and cabinets, and said he would increase those taxes to 50% on cabinets and 30% on furniture this year. His reversal, delaying those tax hikes, was good news for furniture retailers, and investors expressed their enthusiasm Monday by sending Wayfair 6.5% higher and RH up 9.3%.
Rising consumer spending this year could help these stocks
With those higher tariffs on hold and consumer discretionary spending potentially poised for a boost this spring due to the higher expected tax refunds stemming from the "big, beautiful bill," stocks of retailers like Wayfair and RH could have more upside in 2026. The Tax Foundation estimates that legislation, which cut 2025's taxes retroactively, could reduce individual taxes by $144 billion and lift the average refund by between $300 and $1,000.
Due to intensifying concerns about higher prices, the stocks of Wayfair and RH went in different directions in 2025. The share price of upscale home furnishings chain RH (formerly known as Restoration Hardware) fell by about 50% during the year as consumers generally favored bargains over luxury goods. By contrast, shares of Wayfair, which sells discount furniture and has frequent sales and clearance events, soared by more than 130% during the year.
Both, however, rely heavily on imports -- and particularly imports from Asia -- to source their offerings. In general, Asian exporters dominate U.S. furniture imports.
Of course, much will also depend on the state of the U.S. housing market, which has been moribund in recent years due to higher mortgage rates, high prices, and limited supply. The two factors have combined to render a $300,000 home purchase unaffordable for the majority of U.S. households, while the median-priced new home was around $460,000 in 2025.
Things could change, however, in 2026. New home construction has picked up, leading to a growing supply of homes after several years of more limited inventory. And the Federal Reserve remains in easing mode, which should bring mortgage rates down, albeit gradually.
A delay on tariff hikes, coupled with rising affordability and some new life in the housing industry, could send shares of these two furniture retailers higher this year.

Trump's Latest Move on Tariffs Makes These 2 Stocks a Buy for 2026

Key Points
The Trump administration rolled out a delay for a scheduled tariff increase on certain furniture-related imports.
RH has been generating substantial free cash flow.
The company is leaning into its international expansion.
The furniture industry just got a bit of breathing room on the tariff front. On Dec. 31, the White House said it would delay a planned increase in tariff rates for upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities that was scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2026, while leaving the current 25% tariff in place.
Shares of RH (NYSE: RH) and other furniture companies rose on the news. Tariff uncertainty has been one more weight on an already choppy backdrop for the luxury furniture specialist. The company has been up against "the worst housing market in almost 50 years," RH CEO Gary Friedman told investors in the company's third-quarter update.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
Despite the challenges it has faced, RH has returned to top-line growth and is reporting substantial free cash flow. In addition, it has been investing heavily in a global expansion it hopes will dramatically expand its addressable market.
Combining this positive news about tariffs with RH's recent business momentum and a stock that is still beaten down from previous highs, it's a good time to look at the stock.
Uncertainty is the real issue
Tariffs have been damaging to RH's business in more ways than one. Yes, they hurt margins. But the volatile tariff environment has also led to significant uncertainty for management and its customers. Putting the volatile environment into perspective, Friedman noted in the company's most recent quarterly update that there have been "16 different tariff announcements over the past 10 months that have resulted in significant resourcing, product delays, out of stocks, and driven multiple rounds of price negotiations and increases."
While the White House didn't eliminate tariffs, it did delay a big step-up in tariffs. This will not only save RH money, but it will also help it plan its marketing and sourcing with a little more confidence.
Meanwhile, the company has been doing its best to address tariff challenges head-on by shifting sourcing away from China and implementing other measures to reduce its exposure to tariffs.
Robust free cash flow
The best reason RH stock looks more interesting today, however, is not the tariff delay -- it is the company's recent cash generation.
Helped by 9% revenue growth in its most recent quarter, RH's third-quarter free cash flow came in at $83 million, bringing year-to-date free cash flow to $198 million. Management also reiterated a full-year free-cash-flow outlook of $250 million to $300 million. For a company with a market capitalization of $3.6 billion, this is substantial.
Not only does strong free cash flow during a difficult housing market highlight the resilience of RH's business, but it also suggests the company should have no problem paying down its debt in the coming years -- and it has a lot of it. RH ended the third quarter with net debt of about $2.4 billion.
International expansion
But strong free cash flow isn't the only reason to be upbeat about RH. The company's international expansion also looks promising.
The company opened RH England in 2023 and expanded to Paris in 2025. Even more, the company positioned these locations as more than stores -- they are immaculate, immersive brand statements designed to build awareness and drive demand for its nascent design services business. RH believes these stores will make a lasting statement about its brand and establish RH as a global brand.
The company has also laid out plans for additional European galleries, including openings in London and Milan in 2026.
Importantly, RH is telling investors to expect near-term financial drag from this strategy. In the third-quarter outlook, management said its guidance included roughly a 200-basis-point operating-margin impact from investments and start-up costs tied to international expansion.
But if RH succeeds in building a durable luxury brand overseas, today's stock price could look cheap in hindsight.
Is RH stock a buy?
Overall, shares look attractive at a valuation of 13 times the midpoint of management's full-year 2025 free cash flow guidance. But given the stock's debt levels and the unpredictable nature of both housing and furniture markets, investors should keep in mind that there are risks.
Additionally, it may make sense for investors who do buy shares to keep their positions small, given how volatile furniture sales have proven to be in recent years. While RH's sales could surge higher if the housing market picks back up, uncertainty in the housing market could also send luxury furniture sales sharply lower.
The tariff delay is undoubtedly a positive development for RH. It reduces tariff uncertainty and gives management more visibility. But the real reason to be excited about RH stock is its free cash flow and international expansion.

Stocks Settle Mixed on Strength in Chip Makers and Weakness in Megacap Tech

Key Points
The Trump Administration delayed new tariff increases on certain furniture items that were supposed to go into effect January 1.
Still, the initial industry-specific rates imposed in September will remain.
The furniture industry has sustained multiple headwinds over the past four years, with RH stock still down 76% from its highs.
Shares of luxury furniture-maker RH (NYSE: RH) were up strongly to start 2026, rising 9.6% as of 2:52 p.m. EDT.
RH rallied along with its furniture sector peers on news that the Trump Administration's harsh furniture tariffs, initially announced back in September, wouldn't increase as expected until 2027, amounting to a one-year delay.

Trump listens to U.S. furniture-makers
In September, the Trump administration imposed a 25% tariff on imported upholstered furniture, kitchen cabinets, and vanities. Moreover, the tariff rate on upholstered furniture was set to rise to 30%, and the tariff rate on cabinets and vanities was set to rise to 50% on January 1. However, President Trump signed an executive order just before the new year, delaying those increases until 2027, citing progress on trade talks as the reason.
While the Administration's stated objective was to revive North Carolina's furniture manufacturing industry, RH CEO Gary Friedman has noted on the company's previous earnings calls that the tariffs could have severe negative consequences for smaller furniture-makers. RH also lowered its operating margin guidance for the year on its lastearnings call citing a 90-basis-point impact from tariffs.
Friedman said on the call, "Tariffs are disrupting supply chains and driving higher prices. There have been 16 different tariff announcements over the past 10 months that have resulted in significant resourcing product delays, out-of-stocks, and driven multiple rounds of price negotiations and increases."
Therefore, the fact that tariffs won't be rising yet again to start the year took some pressure off the company, leading to today's stock rise.
RH: A turnaround candidate?
RH was plagued by the tremendous housing market downturn that began after the pandemic, as the company's sales are generally tied to people buying a new house and furnishing it. Furthermore, management took on substantial debt to repurchase stock over the past two years, a move that appears to have been ill-timed and premature, given the continued weakness of the housing market. Then, RH got hit with this year's tariffs.
The toxic combination has left RH's stock down 76% from its pandemic-era highs. But that also means the stock could be a turnaround candidate if these headwinds begin to clear up. That's why the stock made such a big move today, on the mere delay of expected tariff increases.
