Baron Discovery Fund stated the following regarding RH (NYSE:RH) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Shares of luxury home furnishings retailer RH (NYSE:RH) faced significant volatility during the quarter and detracted from performance. The heightened volatility was due in large part due to increased uncertainty related to tariffs as the company imports a large percentage of its products. At the same time, the home furnishings industry remains under pressure due to lessened housing activity related to high interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite having conviction in RH’s long-term growth prospects, because of the heightened risk and uncertainty we exited our position."
