What are Wall Street analysts saying about Home Depot stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Home Depot stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Home Depot boasts a five-year long trend of beating earnings estimates, which continued in fourth-quarter fiscal 2018. Despite a sales miss in the fiscal fourth quarter, the company has delivered positive sales surprise in eight out of the last 10 quarters. Results gained from strength in both Pro and DIY categories. It also benefited from efforts to provide an interconnected shopping experience to customers, with localized and innovative products, and improved productivity. Moreover, the company outlined a solid view for fiscal 2019 and reaffirmed long-term financial targets. However, the company underperformed the industry in the past three months due to lower-than-expected sales and comps in fourth-quarter fiscal 2018. Tough comparisons, hurricane-related sales gains in the prior year, and unfavorable winter weather hurt comps. Additionally, the company’s top line was impacted by adverse currency and commodity cost inflation." (5/14/2019)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We had the opportunity to host investor meetings in Canada last week with Jeff Kinnaird (President, Muench (VP, the HD Investor Relations team. Conversations were constructive, and focused largely on the macro environment, company initiatives (store improvements, Pro, supply chain, etc.) and LT opportunities/risks. Our takeaways include: 1) Despite a softening U.S. housing backdrop, HD makes a good case for continued growth; 2) in-store productivity initiatives are proving viable offsets to cost pressures, which unlikely abate with wage, transportation and tariff-driven inflation; and 3) Pro opportunities are still early innings, with growth levers from data analytics, a new Pro referral program (for install services), a B2B website and fulfillment improvements."
