1317 ET - UBS sees "slightly more downside than upside risk to RH's guidance," ahead of the furniture retailer's quarterly results, as international investments and tariff costs drag on profits. After opening more design galleries abroad in recent years, the company's margins have become strained, and plans to open further locations in Montreal and Paris this year will only add more pressure, the analysts say in a research note. Tariffs, meanwhile, pose an estimated 3% to 10% hit to the analysts' forecast for earnings before interest and taxes, even if the company can mitigate much of the added costs via supplier negotiation and price increases, they add.
