Key Points

• Home Depot (HD), Lowe’s (LOW) and Masco (MAS) are MarketBeat’s top home improvement stocks to research today, selected for having the highest recent dollar trading volume.
• The home improvement sector is a cyclical play tied to housing activity, interest rates and consumer discretionary spending, so these companies are useful renovation-demand indicators but are sensitive to economic and rate-driven swings.
• Home Depot has seen its stock fall recently, but analysts cited in the piece still believe there is upside potential.

Home Depot, Lowe's Companies, and Masco are the three Home Improvement stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Home improvement stocks are shares of companies that supply products and services for residential renovation and maintenance—retailers (home centers), manufacturers of building materials and fixtures, toolmakers, and contractors serving both DIY and professional customers. Investors track them as a cyclical play on housing activity and consumer spending, since their revenues depend on housing starts, existing-home sales, interest rates and household discretionary budgets, making them useful indicators of renovation demand but sensitive to economic and rate-driven swings. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Home Improvement stocks within the last several days.
