stocks of the week

Investing.com -- Well, it’s been a terrible week for markets. Leading up to Wednesday, there were already significant concerns regarding the tariffs promised by U.S. President Donald Trump. But it was worse than expected, sending stocks tumbling.

Nevertheless, the show must go on. Here are Investing.com’s stocks of the week.

RH (NYSE: RH )

RH shares tumbled 40% on Thursday as it was impacted by the double-whammy of its results missing expectations and the market reaction to Trump’s tariff announcement.

The furniture retailer missed consensus earnings and revenue expectations.

Reacting to the report, analysts at Loop Capital slashed their price target for the stock to $190 from $450, maintaining a Hold rating on the stock.

“RH’s F4Q 2024 results were worse than we expected, and while management’s F2025 guidance was largely in line with consensus forecasts, the significant implied profitability ramp over the final three quarters gives us pause,” wrote the firm. “On top of all that, we worry about the implications of the hefty Trump administration tariffs announced this afternoon, which not only impact products sourced from China (34% tariff) but from Vietnam (46% tariff), Indonesia (32% tariff), and India (26% tariff) as well.”

The firm is also concerned about the impact the tariffs will have on affluent consumer confidence.

Newsmax

The conservative cable channel firm made its market debut on Monday, initially soaring to around $665 a share after opening at $14 a share. On Tuesday, it surged 179%.

While it has since declined, it is still around the $50.80 mark, as of 12:45 pm ET on Friday.

Founder and CEO Christopher Ruddy told CNBC in a statement that “investors powerfully are buying Newsmax shares because they like us, they value us and they want us to keep growing.”

Dollar General (NYSE: DG )

With worries regarding the U.S economic outlook in full effect, one name that has seen its share price rise is Dollar General, as investors look towards safer assets. It is also expected that consumers will trade down and increase their spending with the retailer.

The company’s shares are up 22% for the year-to-date and around 6.5% in the past week. On Thursday, it jumped 4.7%

Bernstein analysts said in a note that within the retail sector, the company has emerged as one of the least exposed to the tariffs.
