Home Depot stock was trading at USD 285.69 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, up 1.61 percent, with volume at 1,290,971 shares. The move came as investors weighed fiscal second-quarter sales growth against a cautious full-year outlook.

Q2 sales rise 5.7 percent

According to MarketBeat on October 1, 2026, Home Depot reported fiscal Q2 2026 adjusted earnings of USD 4.92 per share and revenue of USD 47.86 billion. Revenue increased 5.7 percent year over year, while adjusted EPS exceeded the cited consensus of USD 4.73.

The financial data for the quarter ended August 2, 2026, also show consolidated net income of USD 4.766 billion and diluted EPS of USD 4.79. Operating margin was 14.0 percent, giving investors a second measure of profitability alongside the adjusted result.

Guidance keeps the test visible

MarketBeat reported fiscal 2026 EPS guidance of USD 14.690 to USD 15.278. That range points to a restrained earnings path after the second-quarter beat, especially because the company maintained its outlook rather than raising it.

The Home Depot's investor-relations page identifies the company's next earnings release as November 17, 2026, giving the market a defined checkpoint for testing demand and margin execution. The same page lists fiscal 2025 sales of USD 164.7 billion and an adjusted operating margin of 13.1 percent, historical figures that frame the scale of the retailer.

Analyst target stays above price

The consensus picture remains constructive but leaves a wide gap to the share price. According to MarketBeat, 32 analysts assigned Home Depot a Moderate Buy consensus, with 18 buy ratings, 13 hold ratings and one sell rating. Their average 12-month price target was USD 375.18, which lies 31.3 percent above the October 6 price.

Housing demand remains the central counter-factor because high borrowing costs and low transaction activity can delay large remodeling projects. The second-quarter figures therefore show resilience in sales, while the unchanged guidance keeps the quality of future growth under scrutiny.
