RH Stock Plummets Over 40% Following Tariffs and Weak Earnings

The luxury home retailer faces significant challenges as new U.S. tariffs target its Asian supply chain, compounding the impact of disappointing financial results.

  • President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs on Asian imports, including 46% on Vietnam and 34% on China, directly affecting RH's supply chain, which sources 72% of its products from the region.
  • RH's stock experienced its worst single-day drop in its public history, falling over 40% after the tariff announcement and a weaker-than-expected earnings report.
  • The company reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.58, falling short of analyst expectations of $1.92, with revenue also missing forecasts.
  • CEO Gary Friedman expressed surprise during the earnings call, acknowledged the company's vulnerability to tariffs, and outlined plans to accelerate supply chain diversification.
  • Despite current challenges, RH projects revenue growth of 10-13% for fiscal 2025, while navigating broader economic pressures, including a historically weak U.S. housing market.
