Williams-Sonoma reported broad-based Q2 comp growth led by B2B at 14.5% and double-digit gains across emerging brands; Williams-Sonoma and West Elm comps were 7.6% and 6.4% respectively while Pottery Barn accelerated to 5.1%. Management cited a 'layer cake' merchandising strategy, AI assistants Olive and Otto boosting conversion, and supply-chain efficiency that offset about one-third of peak tariff impact. The company raised FY comparable revenue guidance to 4.0–6.5% and raised operating margin guidance to 17.8–18.2%, excluding a $174 million one-time tariff refund and after $47 million reimbursed to vendors and a $10 million employee 401(k) contribution. Management plans 1–3% annual store growth from fiscal 2027, aims to expand B2B toward a $2 billion revenue target, and expects further margin expansion from inventory and AI-driven productivity improvements. » More on finance.yahoo.com
