Q3 Earnings Highs And Lows: RH (NYSE:RH) Vs The Rest Of The Home Furniture Retailer Stocks
Quarterly earnings results are a good time to check in on a company’s progress, especially compared to other peers in the same sector. Today we are looking at RH (NYSE:RH), and the best and worst performers in the home furniture retailer group.
Furniture retailers understand that ‘home is where the heart is’ but that no home is complete without that comfy sofa to kick back on or a dreamy bed to rest in.

Decades ago, it was thought that furniture would resist e-commerce because of the logistical challenges of shipping large furniture, but now you can buy a mattress online and get it in a box a few days later; so just like other retailers, furniture stores need to adapt to new realities and consumer behaviors.
