Lorraine Hutchinson’s rating is based on several factors impacting Revolve Group’s financial outlook. Despite the company’s first-quarter earnings surpassing expectations, management has lowered its full-year guidance due to the anticipated negative effects of tariffs and a decline in consumer spending attributed to macroeconomic uncertainties. The company’s gross margin guidance has been adjusted downward, reflecting the pressure from tariffs and markdowns, with a significant portion of their inventory sourced from China, which poses a continued risk.
Additionally, the company’s direct import exposure to China, accounting for a substantial portion of its owned brand products, is a concern. The tariffs are expected to impact gross margins significantly in the latter half of 2025. Although the company is exploring mitigation strategies such as cost-sharing and diversifying its sourcing, these efforts may not fully offset the tariff impact. Furthermore, the slowing consumer sentiment and increased markdowns have pressured average order values, contributing to a cautious outlook on the company’s future performance.
