Revolve's short term pressures create a buying opportunity

2023 has presented big challenges for retailers. Inflationary pressures and high interest rates have significantly impacted consumer spending. Even luxury brands haven’t been immune to the tough macro environment. For example, last week, LVMH shares plunged after the luxury giant reported rapidly slowing growth.
