HD rides small-project demand to quarterly beat as housing slowdown persists

Home Depot reported a stronger-than-expected Q2 with revenue of $47.86B and 1.7% comparable-store growth driven by demand for smaller projects; US comps rose 1.3%, transactions declined 1% but average ticket rose to about $92.50. The company kept its 2026 outlook of 2.5%–4.5% sales growth and flat-to-up 2% comps, aided by tariff refunds and a national express-delivery launch. Yet the housing market remains weak due to higher mortgage rates and financing costs, weighing on bigger-ticket projects and overall demand.

Home Depot edges past Q2 expectations as it sticks to 2026 outlook in a cautious housing market

Home Depot beat Q2 2026 estimates, posting adjusted EPS of $4.92 on revenue of $47.86B and reaffirming full-year guidance of 2.5%-4.5% sales growth with 12.4%-12.6% operating margin. Net income was $4.77B; comparable sales rose 1.7%, the strongest since Q3 2022. Management cited a “frozen housing market” but said it is gaining share across pro and DIY segments, aided by tariff refunds that offset some input costs. Consumers remain hesitant on larger projects due to inflation and uncertainty, while CEO Ted Decker is on temporary medical leave with Ann-Marie Campbell overseeing daily U.S. operations.
