RH is scheduled to report Q2 fiscal 2026 results on September 10, with expected revenue growth of only 0.5%-2.5% due to housing headwinds, tariff-related sourcing disruptions, and elevated backorders. The company's adjusted EBITDA margin is guided at 11.5%-13%, pressured by 380 basis points of international expansion startup costs. However, the Zacks model predicts an earnings beat based on a +127.49% Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #3. Peer companies Williams-Sonoma and The Home Depot delivered strong results, while Lowe's lowered guidance.

Ollie's Bargain Outlet reported Q2 2026 earnings of $1.42 per share, beating consensus estimates of $1.14 by 24.56%, but revenues of $741.31 million missed expectations by 1.54%.

Both trade at similar forward P/E multiples (~24), though RH's international expansion and margin recovery guidance could make it the better buy if execution meets expectations.
