The transactions took place on September 18 and 19, during which Demilio sold 2,000 shares at an average price of $340.2993 and an additional 1,000 shares at $345.00. Despite these sales, Demilio retains a substantial ownership stake in RH, both directly and indirectly through trusts.

As a luxury brand in the home furnishings sector, RH has experienced market fluctuations alongside the broader retail landscape. Insider sales like this are not unusual and can stem from various motivations, including portfolio diversification and personal financial planning.
The company’s stock remains actively traded, and investors are likely to monitor any additional insider transactions as they evaluate RH’s performance and future outlook.
