#3 - RH (NYSE:RH)
In 2023 and 2024, Buffett was buying some homebuilder stocks. But investors would have been well-advised to focus on Buffett’s holdings in RH (NYSE: RH). The company, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, is a premium home furnishings retailer.
The stock has moved up and down with the housing market. In 2021, investors were rewarded when RH stock charged above $700 per share. However, the stock then began to plummet, and short interest increased as higher mortgage rates caused the housing market to seize up.
RH stock has spiked 21% in the 30 days ending September 20, 2024. Most of that gain has come after the company’s earnings report was released on September 12, just a few days before the Fed’s decision on interest rates. The short squeeze has run the stock up to its 52-week high. However, analysts are beginning to bid the stock higher as the company’s investments, including expansion in Europe, are starting to pay off.
