If you’re looking for a great discount that is also a stable opportunity, consider Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD). HD stock was looking mighty frothy. However, the broader market correction chopped it down quite nicely. I’m expecting a little bit more of a hit, down between $160 and $170. If it gets there, buy!

As a secular retail play, I absolutely HD stock. I don’t care if we have a recession, depression, or succession: if something goes wrong with your home (and it’s fixable), you go straight to Home Depot. That means the company’s consumer base is all-inclusive.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a rugged everyman or a Millennial who can’t tell the difference between a Philips head screwdriver and a tampon; you need HD.

Now, the risk factor is housing, and the markets reaction to it. Currently, housing prices are out of control, and I’m not sure if wages can keep up, especially with rising inflation. However, this also incentivizes home owners to renovate since this is a seller’s market.

Subsequently, I expect HD stock to rise steadily on the prospect of increasing revenues.

Earnings Report Date: Tuesday, February 20, before market open

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) numbers — like those of Walmart — will be scrutinized even by investors who don’t own the stock.

HD doesn’t have the same holiday seasonality as most retailers. Its sales actually peak in the second quarter, due to springtime renovation projects.

But Home Depot’s fiscal Q4 results and commentary will give preliminary answers to key questions for the market as a whole. Has U.S. tax reform unleashed more spending on big-ticket items like renovations or even new appliances? Is the housing market showing any signs of slowing?

HD stock pulled back nearly 10% amid the broad market weakness, based in part on the fear that higher interest rates later this year might cool HD’s already-mature market.

That’s one reason I recommended subscribers lock in 30%+ gains made with Home Depot’s smaller (and cheaper) rival, Lowe’s Companies, Inc. (NYSE:LOW).

I see reason for similar caution with HD stock ahead of Tuesday’s report. Home Depot has a solid history of beating expectations. But the response to the quarter is more difficult to predict.

If investors bid up HD stock on an earnings beat, it’s a sign that the market is moving past the fears that unsettled it earlier this month.

But if Home Depot puts up a big earnings number and investors don’t reward the stock, that means investors are still focused on the external risks that led to this month’s pullback. That in turn suggests a market that’s going to stay cautious for some time to come.

Stock of the Week

by Rick Pendergraft

Most of you are probably familiar with the home improvement retail giant as they have close to 2,300 stores throughout North America and the Caribbean.

The profit margin is at 13.2% and the operating margin is at 14.6%.

Analysts are expecting the company to grow by 15.4% per year over next five years.

Suggested strategy: Buy HD with a maximum entry price of $182. I would set a target of at least $240 over the next six to nine months (for a potential return of over 35% from current prices). I would suggest a stop loss at the $165 level.

Strong Buy Stock: Home Depot (HD)

Why Home Depot Stock Is Finally Too Expensive

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) is a key beneficiary of the housing market upswing. A recent report by CoreLogic reveals that US house prices are peaking again. The average home price is now 1% higher than it was in 2006, the report said — with the greatest improvement in West Coast states.

According to TipRanks, this home improvement chain store boasts a 91% bullish blogger rating right now. This works out way more bullish than the average services sector stock.

Indeed, just a couple of days ago, five-star blogger Valuentum Securities Inc. described Home Depot as ‘building for the long haul.’ The financial blogger continued:

“We find Home Depot’s comparable store sales numbers highly impressive, but we find its return on invested capital (ROIC) targets downright amazing.” Indeed, its targeted ROIC stands at a very impressive 40%.

Meanwhile Morgan Stanley’s Simeon Gutman sees the stock spiking a further 19%. He is betting on the stock following ‘reassuring’ meetings with Home Depot management. Gutman told clients:

“Our meetings reinforced several strengths of the story: a favorable macro backdrop, an ability to take market share through differentiation, investing for the future, and organizational cohesion that increases productivity and efficiency while minimizing execution risk.”

THIS 'FIXER-UPPER STOCK' IS BACK ON THE RISE

Home Depot (HD) is a $240 billion home-improvement giant. It sells anything a homeowner may need for projects around the house: paint, plumbing supplies, lighting, and more.

But last year, Home Depot's stock fell more than 25% on fears that higher interest rates would stifle the housing market. Nothing had changed within the business...

Home Depot's sales grew 7% in 2018. And once the fears blew over – and Fed policy changed – investors began piling back in...

As you can see in today's chart, HD has soared since bottoming in December. Shares are up almost 40% since their December low, and they just hit a fresh all-time high. It's more proof of the gains that are possible as things get "less bad"...

Stock Trade of the Week: Home Depot (HD)

by Rick Pendergraft

Earnings have grown by 21% per year over the last three years, but they were only up 1% in the most recent quarterly report.

Sales have increased by 6% per year over the last three years and they were up by 4% in the most recent quarter.

The profit margin for Home Depot is 13.7%, but there are mixed readings on the company’s return on equity.

The stock is trading at a P/E ratio around 22 and it does pay a dividend with a current yield of 2.5%.

Suggested strategy: Buy HD with a maximum entry price of $221.00. I would set a target of at least $280.00 over the next 9 to 12 months. I would suggest a stop loss at the $205.00 level.

Just an awful earnings report...

Home Depot on Tuesday reported its biggest revenue miss in more than 20 years and lowered its forecast for this year, as consumers delay large projects and buy fewer big-ticket items like patio sets and grills…

Home Depot said it now expects sales and comparable sales to decline between 2% and 5% for the fiscal year.

It had previously predicted roughly flat sales for the period.

Clearly, this is not reflective of a healthy, confidence consumer.
