May 21Home Depot Q1 FY26 (May 19): Revenue +4.8% to $41.8B beat estimates; EPS $3.30 vs $3.45 prior year; reaffirmed FY guidance but multiple analysts cut PTs.Mixed▶
Home Depot reported Q1 FY26 on May 19 with sales of $41.8B (+4.8% YoY) beating top and bottom-line estimates, with comparable sales +0.6% (US +0.4%). Net income fell 4.2% to $3.29B ($3.30 EPS) vs $3.43B/$3.45 prior year. Adjusted EPS came in at $3.43. The company reaffirmed FY26 guidance: total sales growth of 2.5-4.5%, comparable sales flat to +2%, adjusted EPS flat to +4%. However, analysts cut PTs: UBS to $430 (from $450), Morgan Stanley to $400 (from $420), TD Cowen to $375 (from $450), citing demand concerns amid rising costs and mortgage rates. HD shares are -12% YTD and -21% over trailing 12 months. Strong Buy consensus remains with avg PT $403.58 (~35% upside). Management noted core consumer is 'engaged' but cautious on larger projects.
May 20Home Depot beats Q1 FY2026 with sales +5% to $41.77B and reaffirms guidance as pro segment and SRS-driven HVAC acquisition extend.Positive▶
Home Depot reported Q1 FY2026 revenue of $41.77B (+4.8% YoY) and EPS of $3.43, beating consensus of $41.52B/$3.41, and reaffirmed full-year guidance. Management said the core homeowner shopper remains resilient despite higher gas prices and a sluggish housing-turnover backdrop. The pro customer now accounts for roughly 50% of revenue, and subsidiary SRS Distribution closed the acquisition of HVAC distributor Mingledorff's, extending the pro/B2B push. The company also disclosed it cut customer-service phone times 4x using Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise and acquired SIMPL Automation for supply chain. Shares closed at $302.44 on May 19 (+0.88%) but remain down ~15% over the past month. Street consensus is Strong Buy with average PT around $400-$412 (~30-38% upside); Citi trimmed PT to $400 from $450 while keeping Buy.
May 19Home Depot beats Q1 fiscal 2026 estimates with $41.8B sales, reaffirms full-year guidanceMixed▶
Home Depot reported Q1 fiscal 2026 sales of $41.8 billion (up 4.8% YoY) and EPS of $3.30, beating Wall Street's top and bottom-line estimates on May 19. Comparable sales rose 0.6% with US comps up 0.4%, and management reaffirmed full-year guidance citing resilient core homeowner shoppers despite higher gas prices and plummeting consumer confidence. The stock had been under pressure entering earnings, hovering near $304 (close to the 52-week low of $299.27 and well below the $426 high). Multiple analysts trimmed price targets ahead of the print: Piper Sandler to $421, Wells Fargo to $375, Bernstein to $365, and Truist to $394. Average PT remains $404.10 with 21 Strong Buy ratings. Risk: housing turnover softness, high mortgage rates, and acquisition-related margin strain.
May 18Home Depot reports Q1 FY26 earnings May 19 with consensus EPS of $3.41 (-4.2% YoY) and revenue ~$41.5B; stock near 52-week lows ahead of print.Mixed▶
Home Depot is set to release Q1 FY26 results before market open on Tuesday, May 19, with consensus EPS of $3.41 (a 4.2% decline from $3.56 a year ago) on revenue of ~$41.5B. HD shares have tumbled from a 52-week high of $426 to ~$304, hovering near the 52-week low of $299.27, as investors brace for soft comps and a tepid spring season. Management's FY26 guidance calls for 2.5%-4.5% total sales growth, flat-to-+2% comps, and flat-to-+4% adjusted EPS growth off a $14.69 FY25 base. Analyst consensus remains constructive: 21 Strong Buys vs 1 Sell, with an average price target of $404, implying material upside if the print clears the low bar. Risk: a guide-down on FY26 comps or gross margin pressure could trigger another leg lower.
May 15Home Depot heads into May 19 Q1 earnings amid multiple analyst PT cuts and SRS Mingledorff's acquisitionNegative▶
Home Depot is set to report fiscal Q1 2026 earnings on May 19, with Wall Street expecting EPS of $3.41-$3.42 (down ~3.9-4.2% YoY) on revenue of $41.53B (up 4.2% YoY).

On May 11, subsidiary SRS Distribution closed its acquisition of HVAC distributor Mingledorff's. Home Depot and Google Cloud expanded their partnership at NRF 2026 deploying agentic AI in the Magic Apron assistant and pro tools. Stock has fallen four straight days, trading near 52-week lows on weak housing demand, elevated rates, organized retail theft, and a class-action over AI surveillance practices. Risk: macro housing weakness and consumer softness threaten upcoming print.
May 14Home Depot stock fell 3.20% on May 13 amid analyst price-target cuts and housing-market jitters ahead of Q1 2026 earnings on May 19, while subsidiary SRS closed its HVAC acquisition of Mingledorff's on May 11.Mixed▶
On May 13, 2026, Home Depot stock declined 3.20% as macroeconomic worries about the housing market and analyst adjustments weighed on shares ahead of Q1 FY2026 earnings on May 19. Truist Financial cut its HD price target to $394 from $424 (maintained Buy), while Bank of America reinstated coverage with a Buy and a $374 target, calling HD its preferred home-improvement name. On May 11, Home Depot subsidiary SRS Distribution completed the acquisition of Mingledorff's, LLC, a wholesale HVAC distributor, expanding HD's professional-customer footprint. Why it matters: the upcoming earnings print is the main near-term catalyst with analysts expecting a YoY EPS decline; the HVAC acquisition extends Pro strategy.
