BUZZ-Furniture retailer <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/RH">RH</a> slips after William Blair downgrades to 'market perform'

** Shares of luxury furniture retailer RH RH.N down 1.5% at $197.92 in early trading

** Brokerage William Blair downgrades stock to "market perform" from "outperform", citing financial strain caused by new and existing tariffs

** Says RH relies heavily on imports from countries like Vietnam which will result in increased tariff impact

** Brokerage sees RH's efforts to expand domestic manufacturing as slow, expensive and not enough to offset the impact of tariffs

** "We expect RH will need to rely on additional price increases or a reduction in promotional and clearance offerings over the next year to help offset the additional tariff headwinds," brokerage says

** Eight of 20 brokerages rate the stock "buy" or higher, nine "hold", three "sell"; their median PT is $233 - data compiled by LSEG

** Up to last close, RH stock down nearly 49% YTD
