Williams Sonoma Inc
- Williams Sonoma Inc. decreased 0.08% to $192.01 despite the specialty retailer of products for the home reporting a 14% rise in its earnings in the latest quarter ending on August 3.
Consolidated revenue edged higher to $1.84 billion from $1.79 billion, net income advanced to $247.6 million from $216.9 million, and diluted earnings per share rose to $2.00 from $1.67 a year ago.
During the second quarter, Williams-Sonoma returned $280 million to shareholders, including $199 million in share repurchases and $81 million in dividends, with $903 million remaining under the current repurchase program.
Merchandise inventories rose 17.7% to $1.4 billion, reflecting early receipts to offset expected 2025 tariffs.
Comparable brand revenue increased by 3.7% from a year ago.
The retailer estimated a fiscal 2025 net revenue increase between 0.5% and 3.5%, including the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 2024, with comparable sales up 2.0% to 5.0%.
However, higher revenue may not translate into higher earnings because of the sharp escalation in import duties imposed by the Trump administration.
The company reiterated its fiscal 2025 operating margin guidance of 17.4% to 17.8% and added that it will revisit it if tariff conditions materially change.
