- Tuesday, May 21, 9:50 AM More from the Home Depot (HD +2.9%) earnings call (previous): Contractors get busy - Pro customer business in Q1 was greater than the consumer segment for the first time since 2008. Comment! [On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 21, 6:53 AM Shares of Home Depot (HD) move 4.3% higher premarket after the retailer beats earnings and raises its guidance. The company benefited from strength in the housing recovery which seemed to trump the disruptions from weather and late tax refunds that plagued other retailers. Customer traffic was up 2.5% during the period while the average ticket rose a brisk 5%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, May 21, 6:10 AM More on Home Depot (HD): Earnings beat expectations on both the top and bottom line as Q1 revenues rise 7.4% Y/Y. A "seasonal timing change" adds $574M to sales. Comps growth comes in at 4.3% (4.8% in the U.S.). "Less favorable" weather conditions were more than offset by a "recovering housing market," CEO Frank Blake says. HD raises its FY13 outlook, saying it sees 2.8% sales growth, 4% comps growth, and EPS of $3.52 (consensus is $3.54). Shares +2.92% premarket. (PR) 1 Comment [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 8, 1:46 PM Lowe's (LOW +3.4%) gets a lift from ISI Group on the firm's view that margins could go from 7% to 10% as productivity improves. A normalization in sales would also allow the retailer to support share price with new buybacks and dividend hikes. Shares of Lowe's are rated a Buy by ISI, although it still sees Home Depot (HD +0.2%) as the more attractive stock in the home improvement space. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, April 22, 12:11 PM Homebuilders slip today on weaker than anticipated earnings out of NVR and a miss on Existing Home Sales numbers for March: [(XHB -0.6%, [HOV]] -1.6%, MTH -0.6%, RYL -1.3%, TOL -1.4%, TPH -0.4%, DHI -0.2%, KBH -0.2%, LEN -1.2%, SPF -1%. Home improvement superstore operators also feel the pinch: (HD -0.4% and (LOW -1.2%. 2 Comments [On the Move, U.S. Economy]
- Friday, April 12, 10:17 AM Home Depot (HD +1.7%) trades higher early after Jefferies upgrades the shares to Buy from Hold citing a bullish sales outlook. "Our checks continue to come back favorably," Jefferies says, "weather will not impede" strong Q1 comps. New price target is $85. Competitor Lowe's (LOW +0.5%) is higher by association. (See also: Home garden sales tip in March) Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Friday, February 22, 7:44 AM Oppenheimer upgrades Home Depot (HD) to an Outperform rating due to what it sees as strong housing trends. The firm raises its price target on shares by $9 to take it to $76. HD +1.2% premarket to $65.15. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, November 19, 2012, 7:06 AM Shares of Home Depot (HD) get a little lift after rival Lowe's reports earnings., moving up 1.2% premarket to $62.75.

- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 6:56 AM More on Home Depot's (HD) Q3: The company showed broadly better-than-expected results for the quarter with the slow housing recovery as a backdrop. No specific breakdown on the impact of Hurricane Sandy on sales is issued. The company's square footage flat was flat for the period. Pacing its growth, the number of transactions increased 1.7% Y/Y while the average ticket size grew up 2.9% to $54.55 - marking the best growth rate for ticket size in four years. Conference call scheduled for 9:00 AM EST (webcast). Shares of HD -0.4% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 6:57 AM Home Depot (HD) moves up 3.6% in premarket action with the company reporting a huge amount of products have been moved to East Coast stores in response to storm-related demand. Though Jim Cramer sees a trap for buyers with most of the extra home Depot sales already priced in, other traders see value as a bigger impact is in store for the retailer as the storm cleanup exceeds most expectations. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 2:04 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD -1.8%) are a Dow laggard today with disappointing retail sales numbers and a Janney downgrade holding more weight with traders over the seemingly-positive surge in homebuilder confidence. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 12:22 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD -1.2%) and Lowe's (LOW -2.6%) slump after a soft report for June retail store sales shows particular weakness in areas that could effect the DIY names. Building material sales fell to $23.65M during the month, from $24.05M in May. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Tuesday, July 3, 2012, 10:19 AM Shares of Home Depot (HD -3.1%) and Lowe's (LOW -3.5%) drop hard in early trading as investors jump off of select retail stocks with lower forecasts out from ISCS on June comparable-store sales. 1 Comment [On the Move, Consumer]
- Thursday, June 14, 2012, 1:40 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD +2.1%) and Lowe's (LOW +3.1%) trade higher as the pair of stocks benefit from a mix of improving housing trends and the notion that Fed easing back is on the table. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 8:58 AM Shares of Home Depot (HD) move up 0.9% as a wealth of information floods in (I, II) with the company's investor conference now in full swing. Early take: Though the reaffirmed guidance is critical to the HD story, the increased margin forecast was already tipped off on the firm's last earnings call. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 1:02 PM Shares of Home Depot (HD +1.4%) and Lowe's (LOW +1.3%) trade higher after existing home sales came in strong for April and provide a whisp of optimism after both names have fallen off over the last month. SA author Kraken says the lack of momentum with the pair of home improvement giants is because the stocks were priced for a recovery - an event that hasn't materialized yet. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
