RH (RH.US) stock tumbled over 12.0% during today's session after the high-end furniture retailer experienced a softening of demand in the first quarter. The company reported revenues of $902.74 million, well below Wall Street estimates of $931.31 million although its profit $5.66 per share beat analysts’ expectations of $5.59 per share. For fiscal 2022, net revenue growth is projected in the range of 5-7%, compared to 32% last year. RH also announced a 3-for-1 stock split. CEO Gary Friedman said that his company has moved to a more-conservative stance on its expansion plans and will be cutting his catalog to 300-350 pages from 450-500. He also pointed out that the supply chain issues may persist in the coming months. "We have experienced softening demand in the first quarter that coincided with Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February and the market volatility that followed," Friedman said while delivering conservative Q2 guidance.
"It's clear now to everyone that inflation isn't going back to 2%, even though Janet Yellen, not too many weeks ago when it was 4% or 5%, said it was going to 2%. And 2 weeks later, it went to 7.5%. And now it's at 7.9%," Friedman said.

There are things we know, and I don't mean to be a pessimist, but history would tell us 4 to 5 times the Fed raises interest rates over a sustained period, we have a recession. And I don't need to tell you guys that math. That is just the fact" he added.
