Home Depot stock (US4370761029) closed at USD 300.00 on September 18, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 299.30 billion and a 52-week range of USD 289.10 to USD 418.58. The latest reported quarter still matters: second-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales rose 5.7 percent to USD 47.9 billion, and diluted EPS increased to USD 4.79 from USD 4.58 a year earlier.

Quarterly numbers still set the tone

According to Stock Titan, Home Depot reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of USD 47.9 billion, up 5.7 percent year over year, while comparable sales rose 1.7 percent and U.S. comparable sales increased 1.3 percent. The same filing says net earnings were USD 4.8 billion and adjusted diluted EPS reached USD 4.92.

That mix is what keeps the stock anchored: first-half fiscal 2026 net sales climbed to USD 89.6 billion, up 5.3 percent, and operating cash flow reached USD 11.4 billion. The quarter also came with reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance for total sales growth of about 2.5 percent to 4.5 percent, comparable sales growth of about flat to 2.0 percent, and adjusted operating margin of about 12.8 percent to 13.0 percent.

Price and valuation level

MarketBeat showed Home Depot stock at USD 300.00 on September 18, 2026, down 0.83 percent on the session, with trading volume of 8.19 million shares and a P/E ratio of 20.99. The same page put the stock 28.58 percent below its 52-week high of USD 418.58 and 3.77 percent above its 52-week low of USD 289.10.

What matters now

For investors, the key number is the gap between a USD 299.30 billion market value and fiscal 2026 sales guidance that still points to mid-single-digit growth. Home Depot stock ended the latest session near the lower end of its 52-week range, but the updated quarter shows that earnings and cash generation remain the support line.
