RH Stock Sinks After Q4 Miss and Soft 2026 Outlook

Tariffs plus startup costs for new stores cut margins during RH’s expansion.

Overview

  • Shares dropped roughly 20% to 23% Wednesday after RH posted weaker results and a cautious guide, with several outlets tracking the slide in premarket and early trading.
  • Fourth-quarter EPS came in at $1.53 on revenue of $842.6 million, missing analyst estimates that were near $2.22 for EPS and about $873.5 million for sales.
  • Management said tariffs cut margins by about 190 basis points and reduced sales by roughly $30 million, with late-quarter weather subtracting another $10 million.
  • The company guided first-quarter 2026 revenue down 2% to 4% and full-year growth of 4% to 8%, noting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14% to 16% that reflects international startup costs.
  • RH is pushing ahead with new flagships in Europe and the launch of RH Estates in May, including a Milan opening during Design Week that adds preopening costs before those locations can drive sales.
