Home Depot Q4 Results Tops Estimates But Outlook Falls Short
1. Home Depot beat Q4 EPS ($3.13 vs $3.03) and revenue targets. Analysts’ estimates were surpassed. 2. Guidance for 2025 sales and comparable store sales fell short. Expectations dropped below analyst forecasts. 3. Full-year adjusted EPS is projected to decline 2% from $15.24. This contrasts with consensus on a rise. 4. Q4 comparable store sales rose 0.8%, reversing an eight‐quarter decline. This increment comes amid inflation concerns. 5. Shares fell 2% immediately post-report, despite a 3% 12-month gain. Market reaction reflects investor caution.
