The longer term expectations from the 19 analysts of RH is tilted towards the positive sentiment. Broker analysts tend to forecast up to three years ahead due to a lack of clarity around the business trajectory beyond this. To reduce the year-on-year volatility of analyst earnings forecast, I've inserted a line of best fit through the expected earnings figures to determine the annual growth rate from the slope of the line.

EPS reaches $10.6 in the final year of forecast compared to the current $6.97 EPS today. With a current profit margin of 6.0%, this movement will result in a margin of 8.7% by 2022.
