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 has underperformed the industry in the past three months. Moreover, the company reported soft comps in first-quarter fiscal 2019, which lagged analysts’ expectations. Tough year-over-year comparisons owing to hurricane-related sales hurt comps. The company’s top-line performance in the fiscal first quarter was also hurt by adverse weather in February and continued deflation in lumber prices. Further, stiff competition from other leading players remains an added concern. Nevertheless, Home Depot retained its five-year long trend of earnings beat in the fiscal first quarter, with positive sales surprise in nine of the last 11 quarters. Results gained from strength in both Pro and DIY categories. The company’s efforts to provide an interconnected shopping experience to customers with localized and innovative products, and improved productivity also aided its quarterly performance." (5/23/2019)
- 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."
