RH's Long-Term Potential Is 'Most Intriguing' In Retail, Says Morgan Stanley
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Morgan Stanley analyst Simeon Gutman reiterated an Equal-Weight rating on RH (NYSE:RH) and raised the price target from $260 to $355. The stock has rallied about 40% since Q1'23 earnings due to expectations for a top-line beat in Q2'23 and a pickup in share repurchases. However, the analyst warned that an upside on Q2 sales may reflect a low bar, rather than underlying trends improving. The analyst views RH as among the most intriguing stories in retail, with potential to transform its sales base/margin structure more than any other company in their coverage.
