Home Depot: Q2 Shows Green Shoots Of Recovery, But Not Yet A Buy
Home Depot delivered a strong Q2 2026 with 5.7% revenue growth and solid digital sales momentum, but remains rangebound.

HD's forward guidance projects 2.5%-4.5% sales growth and 2% diluted EPS growth, but rising OpEx and uncertain consumer trends temper enthusiasm.
