Home-furnishings giant RH reported fourth-quarter earnings of $28.8 million ($1.46 per share), up from $13.9 million a year prior, but warned of a 2%-4% revenue decline in the current first quarter due to tariff hikes and severe winter weather disruptions. The company cited increased import costs from new tariffs and logistical delays caused by extreme cold snaps as key revenue drags. While profit margins remain elevated compared to 2023, analysts note the slowdown signals broader sector vulnerabilities to policy shifts and seasonal volatility. Investors are closely monitoring how these pressures might affect long-term growth strategies in the competitive home decor market. RH’s Q4 performance highlights resilience amid external shocks, though near-term challenges underscore the fragility of cross-border supply chains and climate-dependent operations.**
