description: "RH raised its 2026 outlook, projecting revenue growth of 4.5%-8% and $300M-$400M free cash flow, driven by stronger-than-expected Q1 results. Growth is expected to accelerate in the second half due to backlog reduction, new store openings, and the RH Estates luxury concept rollout. However, international expansion preopening costs are anticipated to reduce margins by up to 270 basis points for the year, with Q2 margins also facing pressure."
