Polen Capital made the following comment about  RH (NYSE:RH) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

RH (NYSE:RH) is a leading luxury retailer in home furnishings, including high end luxury furniture, home décor, lighting, textiles, etc. We have a long history with RH as an existing holding in our U.S. SMID strategy, and we capitalized on the market volatility to add it to the Portfolio. The company’s competitive advantage stems from the strength of its brand and its unique—and often misunderstood—business model, which has allowed RH to build a luxury empire at scale and with high returns on capital. We believe RH has a long runway to expand into other home furnishings categories, expand its footprint internationally, and launch new luxury categories. While the business faces near-term challenges, and the stock’s valuation reflects this, we are confident in the company’s long-term prospects and the long track record of CEO Gary Friedman.”
