Home Depot stock rises despite earnings miss as it navigates Trump’s tariffs

Home Depot (HD) investors may have to wait a bit longer for a turnaround in the housing market, as the home improvement chain recently posted mixed earnings. The company reported a 9.4% increase in revenue year over year, reaching $39.86 billion, which slightly exceeded Wall Street’s expectations of $39.29 billion. However, net earnings declined by 4.95% to $3.45, missing the expected $3.59. Additionally, same store sales fell by 0.3%, compared to the anticipated 0.20% decrease.

CEO Ted Decker acknowledged the results, stating that they were in line with expectations, with customers engaging in smaller projects. The company attributed the decline in same store sales to negative impacts from foreign exchange rates.

Prior to the earnings report, Home Depot’s stock had dipped by 2.5% year-to-date but saw a 2% increase in premarket trading. In contrast, rival Lowe’s (LOW) stock was down nearly 5% compared to a 1% gain for the S&P 500.

Analysts remain cautious about the potential for growth in the near term, with Telsey Advisory Group’s Joe Feldman projecting that it could take multiple quarters and into the next year before solid growth is achieved, citing macro pressures and tariff uncertainties.

The ongoing trade tensions and tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have been a concern for Home Depot and Lowe’s. While the US recently reduced tariffs on Chinese imports, the rates are still higher than historical levels, prompting consumers to rethink major renovation projects.

Home Depot CFO Richard McPhail emphasized the importance of diversification in sourcing goods, noting that while Asia plays a significant role, the majority of the company’s products are made in the US.

Another factor affecting the home improvement sector is the sluggish housing market, with homebuilder confidence deteriorating and mortgage rates remaining elevated. Moody’s recent downgrade of the US government’s credit rating could lead to higher financing costs for home projects, adding to the challenges faced by the industry.

Despite these headwinds, Home Depot reiterated its guidance for the fiscal year, expecting net sales to grow by 2.8% and same-store sales to increase by 1%.

In conclusion, while the near-term outlook for Home Depot may be uncertain, analysts believe that the company’s strong execution and digital capabilities position it well for long-term success in the retail sector. The pro customer base presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly following the acquisition of SRS Distribution. Investors will be watching closely to see how Home Depot navigates the current challenges and capitalizes on future opportunities in the market.
