Who owns Restoration Hardware? RH shareholders in 2025
Restoration Hardware (RH) has long been recognised as a leading name in luxury home furnishings. Its stock, traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has attracted attention from both institutional and retail investors.
Restoration Hardware (RH) stock has faced continued volatility in recent years. Since 2022, the luxury home furnishing retailer has seen its share price decline sharply, weighed down by rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, and a slowing US housing market. According to RH CEO Gary Friedman, these conditions have led to “lower-than-expected demand” across its key product segments.
What is Restoration Hardware (RH)?
Restoration Hardware, officially rebranded as RH, sells high-end furniture, home décor and related products across the United States. The company operates a network of design galleries, outlets, and Waterworks showrooms. It has undergone several strategic and branding changes in recent years, positioning itself as a luxury lifestyle brand targeting affluent consumers.
By the end of July 2022, RH operated 67 galleries, 39 outlets and 14 Waterworks showrooms, employing approximately 6,500 associates. In the first half of fiscal 2022, it reported revenues of $1.95bn and net income of $323m.
In 2012, RH went public for the second time under the ticker ‘RH’. Over the past decade, the company’s share price has shown strong long-term gains despite recent volatility, with cumulative growth of more than 700% since its initial public offering (IPO), compared with around 180% for the S&P 500 (US500) and 360% for the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100) over the same period. However, past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
