Shares of companies within the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher, possibly amid overall market strength after President Trump delayed 50% EU tariffs to July.

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) saw several analysts reiterate their coverage, with one analyst making a modest reduction to the price forecast following <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/wsm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thursday&#8217;s first-quarter results</a>.
The retailer reported revenue of&nbsp;$1.73 billion, a&nbsp;4.2%&nbsp;increase from the same quarter last year and ahead of Wall Street&#8217;s estimate of&nbsp;$1.67 billion. GAAP earnings per share of&nbsp;$1.85&nbsp;beat the&nbsp;analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45569507" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of&nbsp;$1.77</a>.
Williams-Sonoma maintains its fiscal 2025 and long-term&nbsp;outlook&nbsp;despite absorbing higher costs from the current tariff landscape. It emphasized that its&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;does not account for additional future tariffs and may be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">revised if material changes occur</a>.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/45553623" rel="noreferrer noopener">Retail ETFs Rattle As Tariffs, Yields, Consumer Caution Pressure Big-Box Stocks</a>
Williams-Sonoma expects fiscal 2025 net revenue to range between&nbsp;-1.5%&nbsp;and&nbsp;+1.5%, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">comparable sales flat to up&nbsp;3.0%</a>.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Shemesh lowered the price forecast to $182 from $189 while keeping an Outperform rating.
While first-quarter comps and headline operating margin outperformed expectations, investor concerns centered around the roughly 220 basis point headwind in merchandising gross margin, Shemesh noted.
Shemesh views much of this impact as temporary and expects improvement beginning in the second quarter. Consequently, the analyst revised the second quarter comp estimate to +1.2% (from -1.5%) and raised the adjusted EPS forecast to $1.81 from $1.74.
For 2025 and 2026, the analyst now projects comp sales growth of +1.1% and +2.6%, respectively (vs. +0.1% and +4.6% previously), and adjusted EPS of $8.33 and $9.10 (vs. $8.36 and $9.46 prior).
KeyBanc analyst Bradley B. Thomas reiterated an Overweight rating with a price forecast of $181.
The analyst says despite a challenging industry environment, the company delivered solid first-quarter results, with comparable sales and earnings per share surpassing expectations.
The analyst remains positive on Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s long-term outlook, driven by ongoing market share gains, a robust balance sheet, and sustainably elevated margins.
The analyst asserts that the company is well-positioned for an eventual housing recovery, with a potential over 50% upside in its shares within the next two to three years.
Thomas now estimates EPS of $1.71 (vs. $1.73 prior) for the second quarter, $1.87 (vs. $1.83 earlier) for the third quarter, and $3.02 (vs. $2.96 prior) for the fourth quarter of 2025.
Also, the analyst raised full-year 2025 EPS estimates to $8.44 (from $8.20) and 2026 EPS estimate to $8.75 (from $8.40).
Telsey Advisory analyst Cristina Fernández maintained an Outperform rating with a price forecast of $215.
The analyst views Williams-Sonoma&#8217;s quarterly performance as solid. However, year-over-year comparisons for gross and operating margins appear weaker due to a one-time adjustment in the first quarter of 2024.
Guggenheim Securities analyst Steven Forbes kept a Neutral rating and writes that while the company&#8217;s ~75 bps gross margin miss in the first quarter drew investor focus, the return to positive furniture comps (first since fourth-quarter 2022) is notable.
The analyst notes that all brands posted positive one-year comps for the first time since the second quarter of 2022, and multi-year comp trends improved across key banners. Forbes says this supports management&#8217;s outlook to return to top-line growth in 2025.
Having now accounted for the pressure from tariff-related margin headwinds, the analyst, by and large, is sticking to previous estimates.
Price Action: WSM shares are trading lower by 1.16% to $158.53&nbsp;at last check Friday.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The GAAP EPS number has been corrected in the story
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WSM#NYSE">WSM</a>) shares fell sharply on Thursday after posting results for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45563749/williams-sonoma-inc-announces-first-quarter-2025-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal first quarter of 2025</a>. The retailer reported revenue of $1.73 billion, a 4.2% increase from the same quarter last year and ahead of Wall Street&#8217;s estimate of $1.67 billion. Comparable brand revenue rose 3.4% year over year.
GAAP earnings per share of $1.85 beat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">analyst consensus estimate of $1.77</a>.
Williams-Sonoma reported a gross margin of 44.3%, down 360 basis points from the prior year. The decline includes a 300-basis-point benefit from an out-of-period freight adjustment in the same quarter of 2024.

Adjusted gross margin fell 60 basis points year over year. The decrease was primarily due to a 220-basis-point drop in merchandise margins, partially offset by 120 basis points of supply chain efficiencies and 40 basis points of occupancy leverage.
Occupancy expenses rose slightly to $198 million, up 0.8% from the prior year.
Quarterly operating income was $291 million with a 16.8% margin, down 230 basis points. Excluding last year&#8217;s freight benefit, the margin rose 70 basis points.
Williams-Sonoma increased inventories by 10.3% year over year to $1.3 billion, pulling forward receipts to reduce potential FY25 tariff impacts.
&#8220;In the quarter, we saw an acceleration of the positive comp trend coming out of Q4, with all brands running positive comps,&#8221; commented Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer.
&#8220;There is no doubt that existing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties are a focal point for the market. But volatility is not new in our industry, and we are confident in our ability to adapt and navigate whatever lies ahead,&#8221; Alber added.
The company ended the quarter with $1 billion in cash and $119 million in operating cash flow, returning $165 million to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, with $1.1 billion remaining in repurchase authorization.
Williams-Sonoma maintains its fiscal 2025 and long-term outlook despite absorbing higher costs from the current tariff landscape. This includes existing tariffs such as the 30% levy on China, a 10% global reciprocal tariff, and 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, as well as on steel and aluminum.
The company emphasized that its guidance does not account for additional future tariffs and may be revised if material changes occur.
Williams-Sonoma expects fiscal 2025 net revenue to range between -1.5% and +1.5%, with comparable sales flat to up 3.0%. Operating margin is forecast between 17.4% and 17.8%, factoring in a 20-basis-point drag from last year&#8217;s extra week.
In dollar terms, revenue is projected at $7.60 billion to $7.83 billion, compared to the $7.67 billion consensus estimate, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">BZ Pro</a>.
The company continues to target mid-to-high single-digit annual revenue growth and operating margins in the mid-to-high teens.
Price Action: Williams-Sonoma shares are trading lower by 4.42% to $160.50 at last check Thursday. (Updated)

U.S. stock futures swung on Thursday after two days of decline on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading mixed in premarket.
After a marathon 22-hour hearing, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45558613/house-advances-trumps-sweeping-one-big-beautiful-bill-after-key-medicaid-tax-and-border-security-changes">House Rules Committee moved</a> President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;$4.9 trillion legislative package&#8221; forward with an 8-4 vote on the &#8220;One Big Beautiful Bill Act.&#8221; 
This action paves the way for a potential overnight floor vote, as Republicans press ahead despite internal party disagreements.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.57% and the two-year bond was at 3.99%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 94.7% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
The Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo, Scott Wren, said that &#8220;We do not see the U.S. economy dipping into a recession this year as consumer spending should continue to grow modestly with growth in real incomes.&#8221;
Wren anticipates a modest rebound in GDP next year, rising to 1.8% from their projected 1% for this year, following a continued growth slowdown over the next couple of quarters.
Wells Fargo doesn&#8217;t foresee a U.S. recession this year because consumer spending should continue its modest growth, bolstered by increasing real incomes, even if it&#8217;s weaker than late last year.
While unemployment is expected to tick up due to below-average economic growth, Wells Fargo&#8217;s 5.3% projection for 2026 remains well below recessionary levels.
Furthermore, he added that &#8220;We also still see plenty of up and down in equity prices but ultimately a higher S&amp;P 500 Index by the end of 2026.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Kristian Kerr, head of macro strategy at LPL Financial, said that &#8220;Greater clarity is expected later this summer, as economic data tends to lag, meaning the full impact of tariffs may not be evident until June or July at the earliest.&#8221;
Additionally, he explained that the current policy landscape remains in flux, with broader tariffs largely paused until early July and China exempt from significant tariff increases until August 12.
&#8220;If meaningful economic weakness does materialize — confirmed by hard data mirroring the softness seen in leading indicators — or trade negotiations deteriorate, another bout of market volatility could ensue, potentially aligning with historical seasonal patterns where equities often struggle from late summer into fall.&#8221;
