Today is Wednesday, the first of April.
Shares of RH are down 17% in pre-market action.
Fourth quarter results and expectations for the first quarter and full year disappointed investors, despite indications that the company is navigating a dire housing market.
RH stated that fourth quarter and 2025 net revenues were negatively impacted by approximately $30 million dollars
due to higher-than-anticipated backorder and special order balances as a result of tariff-related resourcing, as well as $10 million due to adverse weather at the end of the quarter.
For the first quarter, revenue is seen declining by 2 to 4 percent, translating to a range of between $781 and $797 million, which is below the $876 million estimates.
For fiscal year 26, revenue is expected to increase by 4 to 8 percent, representing a range of between $3.58 and $3.71 billion, below the $3.77 billion consensus estimate.
