- Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 2:13 PM The top holding in the 50 biggest U.S. stock mutual funds at the end of Q3 was Wells Fargo (WFC), followed by Apple (AAPL) and Merck (MRK), a new Citi report says. Apple, Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) were top hedge fund choices. Home Depot (HD) and Merck were most "over-owned" by mutual funds; Qualcomm (QCOM) and Google were most over-represented by hedgies. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 2, 2011, 3:19 PM Lowe's (LOW +1.6%) gets a boost from an upgrade to Buy at Goldman, citing management's efforts to improve store presentation, upgrade technology and overhaul and enhance marketing strategies. Additionally, for those who might be a bit gun-shy or risk averse in this volatile market, Goldman suggests possibly hedging your long position in Lowes against a short position in Home Depot (HD +1.8%). Comment! [On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 3:34 PM Home Depot (HD +5.3) is leading all Dow stocks, perhaps enjoying a boost from an analyst breakfast it held this morning. Janney says it has a strong growth plan in place: "HD is shifting its model to cater to DIY customers by changing mix in the store and focusing on smaller projects. Clearly, the company’s goal to achieve 10% operating margin is based on this scenario." Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, November 21, 2011, 2:43 PM Fitch Rating lifts its credit rating on Home Depot (HD -2.5%) a notch to A-minus and keeps a Stable outlook in place - actions that stand in stark contrast to the two-level ratings cut it lopped on HD's rival Lowe's (LOW -1.2%) last week. The agency pointed to Home Depot's operating momentum, strong cash flow, and positive same-store sales in lining up its upgrade. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 2:22 PM Home Depot (HD -0.3%) CEO Frank Blake notes in an earnings CC that the firm's strongest geographic division for Q3 was the west - providing some evidence that the revenue gains posted in the quarter were broader than Hurricane Irene-related spending by consumers and firms. Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 7:17 AM More on Home Depot's (HD) Q3 report: Number of customer transactions increased 1.2% Y/Y, while the average ticket was up 3%. Reaffirms full-year sales growth guidance of 2.5%. Increases its quarterly dividend by 16% to $0.29/share, and sets a 50% dividend payout target. Shares +0.5% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
- Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 6:11 AM Home Depot (HD): Q3 EPS of $0.60 beats by $0.02. Revenue of $17.3B (+4.4% Y/Y) beats by $200M. Comparable store sales growth at 4.2%. Sees FY11 EPS at $2.38. (PR) Comment! [Earnings]
- Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Tuesday's open: COV, DKS, HD, SKS, SPLS, TJX, WMT Comment! [Earnings]
- Monday, November 7, 2011, 2:01 PM Though RBC Capital's bullish take on the home improvement sector encapsulates Lowe's (LOW +1.2%) based on strengthening industry metrics, analyst Scott Ciccarelli says rival Home Depot (HD +1.4%) will outperform Lowe's over the next 9 to 12 months. He notes Lowe's is playing catch-up as it borrows its rival's playbook of shutting down unprotective stores, outsourcing labor, and adding technology to reduce costs. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Monday, November 7, 2011, 1:50 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD +1.7%) trade higher after RBC Capital upgrades the company to Outperform from Sector Perform on top of a price target increase to $42 from $38. Analysts Scott Ciccarelli tells CNBC (video) positive industry metrics including a dollar change in private and fixed residential spending is behind the ratings boost. Comment! [On the Move]
- Tuesday, November 1, 2011, 2:02 PM Home Depot (HD -0.2%) outperforms after Barclays (Overweight) lifts its PT and estimates, arguing the strength shown by the company in Q2 likely continued in its Q3, which just ended. The firm believes sales of Home Depot's emergency response products are strong, and that its rapid deployment centers are improving supply-chain efficiency. 1 Comment [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, October 18, 2011, 12:16 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD +2.2%) and Lowe's (LOW +1.9%) catch a bid after the NAHB report rains a bit of optimism down on the sector. Both companies stand to gain after Lowe's decided to peel back the number of stores it operates, according to analysts who call the market "saturated" after too many stores were added during the "bubble" period. The days of a LOW and HD store standing within a few blocks from each other may become a relic of the past. Comment! [On the Move]
- Monday, October 17, 2011, 12:08 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD +0.8%) gain after the company follows the path of Lowe's (LOW +1.4%) in paring costs with its own (smaller) plan of shuttering a Louisiana call center and eliminating 400 jobs over the next few months. Comment! [On the Move]
- Monday, October 17, 2011, 9:17 AM "The science of retail shopping has changed," says a consultant of the decline in impulse buys as Web-savvy consumers know what they need, and go the store and get it. Or not, as Kid Dynamite notes. Amazon (AMZN) has an app allowing you to scan a barcode in-store, see that you can (nearly always) get it cheaper online, and instantly place the order. Best Buy (BBY) -40% Y/Y. 5 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, September 16, 2011, 10:38 AM Home improvement companies are tacking on some gains after a consumer sentiment gauge came in better than expected. Gainers: HD +1.8%, LOW +1.6% and even global player KGFHY +2%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, September 13, 2011, 3:40 PM Home Depot's (HD +1.1%) CEO, Frank Blake, goes on the record with SmartMoney saying his firm correlates more directly with the broad economy than the housing market. Blake sees Mexico and China as key drivers to growing HD's sales, and points to domestic improvement from within: "The path of growth for this business is not new square footage; it's in productivity and efficiency." Comment! [Consumer]
