RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, has seen its stock price double since last June, primarily due to raised guidance rather than significant improvements in business performance. While consumer demand showed positive signs with increases of 10% and 12% in July and August respectively, concerns persist regarding the company's recent disappointing earnings, which led to a notable 17% stock drop on the latest report. The CEO's aggressive expansion into luxurious experiences, including spas and hotels, seems to have strained the company financially, especially as its core luxury furnishings business struggles. Additionally, there are doubts about whether decreasing interest rates will be sufficient to revitalize RH's performance given the damage done by rising rates and tightening housing markets. The ongoing spending amidst dwindling outlook raises questions about the company's vision and future strategies.
They keep posting disappointing numbers and after the latest, the stock dropped 17% today. Is the CEO a visionary or driving RH to ruin? Pre-2021, RH was a juggernaut as they build luxurious stores including dining around the world at their stores. Also, they're moving into real estates, including spas and hotels.

They've borrowed money to fund this expansion, however, they spent a big chunk of that money to buyback shares just as interest rates rose and the housing market tightened. Can rates fall fast enough to save RH? Doesn't think so. The outlook is dwindling, but the CEO keeps spending.
