La-Z-Boy Incorporated (NYSE: LZB), a global leader in the retail and manufacture of residential furniture, has announced its participation in the Goldman Sachs 32nd Annual Global Retailing Conference in New York. The company will engage in a fireside chat on September 4, 2025, at 1:10 p.m. ET, which will be webcast live and archived on their investor relations website [1].

La-Z-Boy operates as a vertically integrated furniture retailer and manufacturer, committed to uncompromising quality and compassion for its consumers. The company's Retail segment includes nearly 210 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and is part of a broader network of nearly 370 La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® that, with La-Z-Boy.com, serve customers nationwide. Joybird®, an omni-channel retailer and manufacturer of modern upholstered furniture, has 14 stores in the U.S. (one new store opened in fiscal 2026 Q2) [2].

The Wholesale segment of La-Z-Boy includes manufacturing operations and brands such as England Furniture Co., Kincaid®, American Drew®, and Hammary®, which provide comfortable, custom furniture for various retail channels. The company's mission is to bring the transformational power of comfort to people, homes, and communities around the world, a mission that began with the invention of the iconic recliner in 1927 [2].

This event comes amidst ongoing uncertainty in the design industry due to previous tariffs on essential products like wood and metals. President Donald Trump has announced a 50-day investigation into furniture imports, which could lead to tariffs on these products. This announcement has sent stocks of major furniture retailers such as Wayfair, RH, and Williams-Sonoma lower, while La-Z-Boy, which manufactures most of its products in the U.S., saw a slight increase [3].

Analysts predict that tariffs on furniture imports could lead to price increases for consumers, as importers may pass along some of the cost. This could also raise expenses for domestic manufacturers, potentially leading to higher prices even for America-made products. Some suppliers may absorb the costs to remain competitive in the U.S. market [3].

La-Z-Boy's participation in the conference is an opportunity for the company to discuss its strategic position in the market, its commitment to quality and innovation, and its plans for future growth. The fireside chat will provide investors and financial professionals with valuable insights into the company's operations and future prospects.
