Home Depot (HD) is facing significant headwinds due to rising interest rates, which have dampened the housing market and reduced renovations typically funded through loans. Analysts express skepticism over its immediate recovery potential, citing challenges such as inflation linked to the US-Iran war and disappointing quarterly results. However, some experts note that Home Depot remains a dominant player in the home improvement sector with a strong market position and potential for long-term recovery. Many agree that consistent interest rate cuts would be crucial for a turnaround in its fortunes, despite the challenges presented by high mortgage rates and housing turnover issues. The company's strategic expansions into various segments and e-commerce improvements may provide some optimism for future growth amidst the current pressures.

LOW,LOW

PARTIAL SELL

Remains a core holding. Reported this morning, very strong sales, stock bumped up. Strong demand from the pro customer has rebounded. People are renovating rather than moving. Don't buy it here. She took some profits a couple of weeks ago.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It reports Tuesday. It tends to open up on the day of earnings news, then plunge later in the day during the conference call. If you don't own, then wait till the sell-off.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Last quarter, they had a slight beat. Beat on top and bottom lines but they cut their guidance on 2021 due to covid. This is a name that you don't need to buy at these levels. They are expensive for what you get. Has had a huge run.

DON'T BUY

He owned this from the late-1990s till 2020 and did a 10-bagger. He sold it not because of the dividend, but a comparison against Lowe's. HD's success largely was a result of organic growth and operating efficiencies. In the past decade, their operating margins moved from 11% to 16.5% vs. Lowe's in a similar, but slower rate. So, he'd rather capture what will come, so he switched to Lowe's

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 08/20, Up 30.2%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with HD is progressing well. We now recommend trailing the stop (from $230) to $315. If triggered, this would all but guarantee a net investment return of 20%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 27/20, Up 29%) He'd buy it today. Grows dividend quickly, over 20% a year over the last 5 years. Likes the housing sector and home improvement.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Despite sector uncertainty, HD has been beating its quarters, the last four to be precise. In mid-August Home Depot reported YOY revenue popping 8.1%, earnings and revenu beats, and an 4.5% increase in same-store sales over the year. However, this last number wasn’t strong enough for Wall Street which expected 5%, so shares fell 4% on the news. There remains value in the name. Head to head with Lowe’s, HD wins in several metrics: profit margin of 10.55% vs. Lowe’s 7.41%, ROI of 36.61% vs. 24.11% and dividend yield of 2% vs. 1.55%.

SELL

HD vs. LOW He had owned HD for close to 20 years, and had done well. You don't stop doing research after buying a company. His research showed that Lowe's was catching up. Lowe's trades 5x cheaper than HD, margins are lower but expanding. See his Top Picks today.

COMMENT

Earlier this week, Home Depot's report signaled to Wall Street that DIY consumers are spending on things outside home renovations once the great reopening got rolling. That made Wall Street suspicious of all retailers and sold them off, even good ones like Walmart. Today, Lowe's (and TJX) reported strong numbers and their shares bounced.

TOP PICK

She's been adding on this pullback. Sector benefited with Covid. Growth of their PRO division is actually greater than DIY for the first time in the last few quarters. Not housing starts that drives them, but housing turnover. Housing shortage encourags renovations. Building out e-commerce, and so operating margins will improve. Yield is 2.16%. (Analysts’ price target is $343.90)

BUY

It is at a good entry point for a long term hold. Repair and renovation has been very strong. New household formations are still in the initial innings as millennials start to move out of the home.

BUY

HD vs. LOW Checked back recently with profit taking. He's not worried. Prefers HD, with its long runway for the foreseeable future, longer reach, good treatment of employees, good growth opportunities in Mexico and other places. Fix-it market is reeling a bit because of commodity prices. HD is better managed. Current pullback of 15% or so is a good time to buy. Trading at 20x earnings. Secular long-term growth story. Growth will be somewhat muted after last year's blowout.

BUY

Lowes vs. Home Depot in the reopening There's still room to run for both. Contractors have a ton of work and a shortage of supplies. Both have risen over 20% in the past 6 months. Home Depot trades at a slightly higher valuation, but is worth it and she prefers HD.

HOLD

Really benefitted from pandemic. Trading around the 50-day MA, so it's a bit oversold. People are continuing to put money into their homes, and stimulus cheques are helping. Easy money has been made. 10-11% growth rate. Neutral on the name. Other cyclicals will benefit more from reopening.

PARTIAL BUY

They had a strong quarter, but the rate of growth may be slow going forward. They see strong demand in DIY home renos, though, as the home market strengthens. Also, US households got stimulus cheques in March, and probably spent some of that on their homes. Traffic is returning to their stores as the company invests in e-commerce; 55% of e-buyers come into stores to pick up and buy more stuff. Are well-positioned. Housing prices should remain firm, another tailwind, and many US homes are older than 35 and need work. With Covid ending, young people will move into their own homes and will do some repairs. The valuation is good.
