Overview

Home Depot is the largest home-improvement retailer, serving both do-it-yourself consumers and professional contractors. Its scale, dense store network, and supply chain give it a cost and convenience edge that is hard to match.

It is admired for high returns on capital and disciplined buybacks. The central debate is its sensitivity to housing activity, interest rates, and big-ticket discretionary spending across the economic cycle.
