RH Stock Plummets as CEO Warns of Challenging Luxury Housing Market and Slowing Sales
RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) stock plunged 15% after CEO Gary Friedman warned of ongoing challenges in the luxury housing market, projecting stabilization in 2023. The company's second-quarter earnings exceeded expectations, but its third-quarter revenue forecast fell short of Wall Street estimates. RH has been cautioning about a slowdown for several quarters, citing high mortgage rates and the need for interest rate cuts or price reductions to drive acceleration in the market.
