While the fair value narrative for RH centers on analyst targets, the current trading multiple tells a tougher story. RH sits on a P/E of 30.4x, compared with about 20x for the US Specialty Retail industry and 19.9x for peers, and above a fair ratio of 26.9x that our model suggests the market could move toward.
