Three events shape the story

On August 18, 2026, MarketBeat reported that Home Depot delivered USD 47.86 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 5.70 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while adjusted earnings reached USD 4.92 per share.

On September 17, 2026, The Home Depot announced a goal of 15 million introductions to skilled construction careers by 2032. The initiative links workforce development with the contractor market that Home Depot serves through its Pro business.

On October 7, 2026, the company announced the innovation award winner and said it operated 2,364 retail stores and more than 1,340 SRS locations at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. That footprint gives the product program a broad store and professional distribution channel.

What could lift demand?

CNBC reported on October 6, 2026, that Melius Research initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a USD 397.00 price target. The target is 37.92 percent above the USD 287.86 primary-market quote, calculated in the same currency.

The analyst case centers on improving existing-home supply and potential repair and remodeling demand over the next two to three years. The operating counterweight is visible in the latest quarter: revenue grew 5.70 percent year over year, while the company continues to serve a housing market shaped by borrowing costs and low turnover.

Upcoming earnings date

The next dated corporate event is the fiscal third-quarter earnings release on November 17, 2026, confirmed by Zacks. The calendar lists a consensus estimate of USD 3.86 for diluted earnings per share for the period ending in October 2026.
