RH reported a smaller-than-expected 1.7% decline in Q1 net revenues, outperforming its prior guidance of a 2-4% decrease. Building on this, the company significantly raised its full-year 2026 revenue growth outlook to 4.5-8.0%, up from previous projections. Management detailed a 'bridge' to achieve this acceleration in the second half, primarily through backlog reduction, new store openings, and the launch of its RH Estates concept. While Q1 saw a GAAP net loss, the improved forward guidance and strategic growth initiatives are key takeaways for investors.
