Home Depot

Home Depot (NYSE: HD) is an American multinational corporation and the largest home improvement retailer in the United States. The company sells a wide range of products, including tools, construction materials, and appliances, and also offers various services. Headquartered in Georgia, it reported over $151 billion in revenue in 2021 and employs nearly half a million people, making it a significant player in the retail sector.

The company is notable for its dominant market position and its performance is often viewed as a barometer for the health of the U.S. housing market and consumer spending on home improvement. As a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, its stock movements can influence broader market indices, drawing attention from a wide range of investors.

Home Depot stock has recently been in the news due to a significant decline in its share price. This drop followed the company's release of its third-quarter 2025 earnings report, which fell short of market expectations. Furthermore, the company revised its full-year earnings outlook downward.

The primary reason cited for the lowered guidance is a pullback in consumer spending. Reports indicate that customers are postponing larger home improvement projects, leading to softer sales. This trend has raised concerns among investors about near-term demand in the home retail sector.
