Williams-Sonoma (WSM) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Williams-Sonoma reported a year-over-year sales increase of 4.6%, reaching a total of $1.88 billion, while also experiencing a modest expansion in operating margin to 17.0%, which positions the company favorably against competitors. The business-to-business segment exhibited significant growth, with sales projected to reach $1 billion in 2024 and a reported increase of 9%, indicating strong momentum in this $80 billion total addressable market. Additionally, the company's strategic investments in advertising and compensation, while resulting in higher SG&A expenses, underscore its commitment to driving further sales growth as evidenced by comparable brand sales rising 2% to 5%.
Bears say
Williams-Sonoma faces significant concerns related to rising costs, particularly due to tariff increases, which contributed approximately $48 million to expenses in the most recent quarter, highlighting increased financial pressures on the company. The negative stock reaction despite an operating margin guidance increase points to investor uncertainty surrounding potential future financial impacts from these tariffs and the broader macroeconomic environment, including consumer spending shifts towards services and entertainment. Additionally, the company's expected earnings per share (EPS) for 2026 has been revised down to $9.05 from $9.20, reflecting caution amidst a challenging year-over-year comparison, further supporting a negative outlook on Williams-Sonoma's financial trajectory.
