Analysts see upside above USD 375

According to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026, 32 analysts rated Home Depot Moderate Buy, including 18 Buy, 13 Hold and one Sell recommendation. The average target lies 33.5 percent above the October 5 price, a gap that reflects a more constructive 12-month view than the stock's current position near its yearly low.

The same MarketBeat report lists Mizuho raising its target from USD 385.00 to USD 390.00 on August 19, 2026, while Royal Bank of Canada cut its target from USD 343.00 to USD 342.00. The opposing revisions show why the consensus matters more than a single bank's view.

Fiscal Q2 delivered a clear beat

Home Depot reported fiscal Q2 2026 revenue of USD 47.86 billion, up 5.7 percent from the prior-year quarter, while adjusted EPS reached USD 4.92 versus a USD 4.73 consensus estimate. MarketBeat reported the figures from the August 18, 2026 earnings release, including the USD 0.19 adjusted EPS beat.

Operating momentum was uneven beneath the headline growth. TradingView reported that online sales increased 11 percent year over year, while comparable customer transactions fell 1 percent and the average ticket rose 2.8 percent in fiscal Q2 2026. That mix points to larger baskets supporting revenue while housing affordability continues to constrain project traffic.

Stock stays near its yearly low

Home Depot's October 5 market capitalization was USD 280.3 billion, with volume of 4,260,429 shares and a 52-week range of USD 277.15 to USD 397.63. The current price is 29.3 percent below the yearly high, so the valuation debate now depends on whether Pro demand and digital sales can offset softer discretionary remodeling activity.

The Home Depot's fiscal 2026 EPS guidance stands at USD 14.690-15.278, while fiscal comparable-sales guidance remains flat to 2 percent growth, according to MarketBeat. The next earnings release is scheduled for November 17, 2026, according to The Home Depot.

USD 281.15 keeps the test in view

Home Depot stock was last at USD 281.15 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, with the 52-week low of USD 277.15 only USD 4.00 below that level.
