Analysts are dropping the earnings projections of RH. The company is no longer growing and margins are dwindling. That is why the share price has started dropping from $210 per share to $160 per share this week. Net tangible book value is worse than -$200 million. The shares could easily drop below $50 per share.

RH slides as real estate chief departs for Crate & BarrelFebruary 10, 2026 10:59 AM
IH Market News
Shares of RH (NYSE:RH) moved lower in premarket trading, falling 1.3%, after the luxury home furnishings group announced the departure of another senior executive, extending a recent run of leadership changes.Steve Rouman, the company’s Senior Vice President of Real Estate, has stepped down to take on the role of Chief Real Estate & Development Officer at Crate & Barrel. His exit follows other recent senior departures at RH, including Chief Gallery Officer Stefan Duban and Western Region Vice President of Hospitality Ryan Wagner.Rouman had overseen real estate strategy, site selection, and lease and deal negotiations across RH’s property portfolio. He spent four years in the role during his most recent tenure, marking his second period at the company after previously holding the same position from 2017 to 2020.He brings deep experience in retail real estate, having held senior roles at Amazon, Apple, Levi Strauss & Co., and Gap Inc., and began his career working on the landlord side with JMB/Urban Retail Properties and Westfield Corporation.Jefferies analysts flagged the string of departures as a potential concern.“Overlapping exits of leaders with meaningful tenure in key functions highlight business challenges ’under the hood’. We believe the velocity of recent turnover could impact growth ahead, presenting an obstacle to us getting constructive on the stock’s upward trajectory ahead.”RH stock price

Original: RH slides as real estate chief departs for Crate & Barrel

Remember in September when this was $250 per share and I said it was going below $200. It did that and now RH is below $162 and falling further because they don't offer much value to the world. They missed estimates the past couple quarters, and now analysts are taking down previous estimates. Lower highs and lower lows are coming for RH.

Sorry to those who got duped into buying at $250 per share. Have a nice swim!

I do not own any shares. RH.DOPE. I own NVDA purchased at $96 currently $160 headed to $200.


YOUR the clown that bashed NVDA in March and said it was only worth $60.

PS I never listen to people that just bash multiple stocks and provide no value,

Continue to eat bitter melon on NVDA WAAAhh!

RH is down from over $400 per share to below $300 per share and now going below $200 per share. You should have listened. Continue to eat the bitter melon. Waaahhh!

Every post of your on multiple boards like NVDA is 100 % inaccurate and completely inappropriate.

How much are you paid to bash legitimate holdings?????
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profile.aspx?user=851417

Debt interest payments are rapidly swamping operating income. The net income is falling each quarter. This is a ticking time bomb with net tangible book value worse than negative $300 million. Be careful.

Terrible results from RH. Growth has stalled at $814M. This company is now shrinking. And margins are terrible. They cannot even earn $10 million per quarter. This company can support a market cap of no higher than 20*annual earnings which comes to $800 million. The management continues to take excessive compensation and continues to dilute shareholders. They have diluted further. There are over 19 million shares. This shows intrinsic valuation of RH based on revenue and income is only $800/19 = $40 per share. We could easily see RH drop below $40 per share.
Even worse, the company's balance sheet shows they are already bankrupt. And that is the reason for the continued dilution of shareholders. Tangible book value is now negative $380 million. Creditors are going to demand redemption. Shareholders could get $0. This is far overvalued to the point of being dangerous. Beware.

Dump this!

$RH INVESTORS TAKE A COMFY SEAT, 28% POP, ON GREAT GUIDANCE.

This was a quarter that many were worried about, thus the decline pre earnings , the cloud of China trade has scared investors away. The earnings were a blowout rather than a beat, with adjusted earnings of $1.85 per share rather than the $1.53 expected, while revenue also beat by $14million.
RH also addressed the rising trade tensions between Washington and Beijing saying that it doesn't believe the "current trade climate will impair our ability to achieve our stated financial goals." The company has worked hard on sourcing, negotiating and pricing to maintain margins while not effecting sales.
The 28% jump today is fantastic but it is a missed opportunity, don't fret this stock will go back to the $160 level and a all time high soon, a opportunity above the 200ma or the gap fill level will still reward you with a + 20% return.

RH My thoughts on
https://www.facebook.com/571339063055570/videos/1217137525116629/

Damn reports record quarter and due to lowering earnings forecast from 9-10 in 2019 to 8.50-9 it drops 30 points, damn. LOL. In various lots 103-108 for 4100 shares and will end up well, but, damn LOL.

Technical traders and computers took it and just rode the train down, time to go back up, but damn LOL. Once those computers get involved all reality and numbers go out the window.

Peace out.

RH Good morning, folks. Wonderful way to start the day. Sold my overnight hold for about $3.30/SH (share)! Fantastic when I consider my first entry was a couple dollars over the LOD (low of day). Again, shows the value of holding something back to be able to average if you misguessed (my word) the lows.

Now, ordinarily I'd be turning around and shorting this but the Vice Premier of China, the lead negotiator on the Trade talks, is meeting with POTUS today. Don't want to be holding a short over the weekend, in the somewhat distant chance of a Trade breakthrough announcement. Would get burnt.

I'll hope for RH to dip significantly enough to reposition, or just find another play. Stay tuned..

RH How Furniture Retailer RH Pulled Off Its Surprising Turnaround
BY MarketWatch — 7:35 AM ET 01/07/2019

Two years ago, RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware(RH), was in the dumps (https://www.wsj.com/articles/ logistics-woes-crimp-restoration-hardwares-modern-collection-1459207483?mod=article_inline). The stock was down and short sellers were piling in. RH fought back, revamping its business model and adding risk by borrowing to buy back half its stock (https://www.wsj.com/articles/one-retail-ceo-has-bet-1-billion-to-fight-skeptical-investors-1514383673).

The buyback helped crush the shorts and the new strategy made RH one of the great retail turnaround stories.
But is it sustainable?

RH improved quality and raised prices, setting itself apart from rivals like Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel, while forging important relationships with interior designers. "They used to cater to the top 10%," says Anthony Chukumba of Loop Capital. "Now they're catering to the top 1%."

It has built out its stores, which are big advertisers for the brand, while at the same time adding amenities such as restaurants and wine bars that drew in traffic.

Other initiatives have helped, too. The company has reduced inventory, closed distribution centers and introduced a membership program (https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-restoration-hardware-can-learn-from-j-c-penney-1459698948?mod= article_inline&mod=article_inline) that draws consumers on a steady basis instead of through sporadic promotions. RH, wrote Wedbush analyst Seth Basham, is "a luxury brand with no peer."

The stock has climbed 27% in the last 12 months, reaching a high over the summer. When it reported third-quarter earnings (https://www.wsj.com/articles/rh-raises-forecast-as-organizational-changes-improve-profits-1543877713) in December, investors were particularly elated. The company reported year-over-year earnings growth of 66% and revenue growth of nearly 8%. It also raised its guidance for the fourth quarter, ending Feb. 2, and for its next fiscal year.

With the business humming, one question is whether RH borrowed too much to beat back the shorts. On that count the retailer looks OK. At the end of the third quarter, it had $959 million worth of debt. Some of that debt will mature this year and next. That would have been a concern two years ago when the company's free cash flow was negative. But now the company says it expects free cash flow of around $260 million for this fiscal year and a similar figure for fiscal 2019.

A second concern might be a downturn in the housing market or additional tariffs on Chinese imports. China accounted for around 40% of RH's purchases in 2017; that number is expected to decline as the company gradually shifts production elsewhere. Even if tariffs drive up costs, though, analysts say the company can easily pass along them along to their affluent customers.

Trading at 11.5 times forward earnings, RH's stock commands about half the earnings multiple it has on average over the past five years. Investors also should be encouraged by the fact that Chief Executive Gary Friedman is now also the largest shareholder. As Mr. Chukumba points out, "Management has a ton of skin in the game. They're in it together."

Good level to get in for the ramp up to ER? Well, housing is down, tariffs concerning and high earnings bar. But if POTUS achieves meaningful breakthrough with Pres.

The safety factor is this is a solid long term hold.
