Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem reiterated a Buy rating on RH (RH) yesterday and set a price target of $175. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $123.65.
Fadem said:
“We believe Q3 results (and a strong FY19 outlook) serve as evidence that the macro remains favorable, RH’s model is working, and the company is successfully transforming itself to a faster growing, more profitable business. Total sales grew +7.8% (vs. our +7.3%) in Q3, comprised of 4% comps (vs. our +4.5%, or +6.5% ex: inventory reduction headwind), a +1% outlet contribution, and +3.8% from new galleries/other. Gross margins expanded +377bps to 40.7% (+42bps vs. our model), while SG&A delevered +156bps vs. our +275bps. This drove EBIT margin +221bps to +10.3%, or +161bps above our model, contributing 32c to RH’s 43c adjusted EPS beat ($1.73 vs. our $1.30).”
