Home Depot stock holds steady after a $47.86 billion quarter
Published on 08/27/2026 at 06:55 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Home Depot stock is tied to a $47.86 billion quarter and $4.92 adjusted EPS, both reported for the quarter ended August 18, 2026, while the shares closed at $334.85 and the market value stood at $334.54 billion on August 26, 2026.
The latest quarter also beat expectations on both lines, with revenue above the $47.24 billion estimate and EPS topping the $4.73 consensus by $0.19. The company also pointed to fiscal 2026 guidance of $14.690 to $15.278 in EPS, keeping the year-ahead earnings range in view for investors.
What the numbers say
Comp sales rose 1.7% in the quarter, and revenue increased 5.7% year over year from $45.27 billion in the prior-year period. That comparison matters because it shows the sales beat was not just a price effect, but also came with broad demand strength across the chain.
Gross margin reached 33.7% in fiscal Q2 2026, while the year-ago comparison for adjusted EPS was $4.68. The margin detail gives the quarter more depth: the company delivered higher sales and a better profitability mix at the same time.
Trading picture
At the August 26, 2026 close, the stock traded between $335.17 and $339.44 during the session, with a 52-week range of $289.10 to $426.75 and volume of 1.28 million shares. The market cap of $334.54 billion keeps the name in the large-cap core of U.S. retail.
The stock is still trading well below its 52-week high, so the latest earnings strength is landing against a share price that has already absorbed a large part of the prior-year move.
Pro business angle
Home Depot's pro-heavy push remains a key product and operating theme, with the company's broader home-improvement assortment still centered on projects tied to repairs, refreshes and professional demand. For investors, that mix matters because it links the latest quarter's sales momentum to categories that can hold up better than discretionary big-ticket spending.
Stock level
