THE BREAKDOWN IN HOME DEPOT IS GETTING WORSE

Remember the "dangerous breakdown" we noted in Home Depot (HD) shares? It's getting worse…

To recap, we keep Home Depot shares on our watch list for one big reason: It's America's largest chain of home improvement stores… which makes its share price and profits rise and fall along with spending on the American dream. If the Depot's share price is tanking, it's a bad omen.

Driven by the huge government "goosing" of the housing market, HD shares soared off their March 2009 bottom into the mid $30s. But several weeks ago, we highlighted how HD shares broke their uptrend to hit their lowest low in two months. This weakness has come on massive trading volume as traders fled the "housing trade."

On Tuesday, HD continued its horrid summer performance and struck its lowest low in four months. And again, the weakness came on big trading volume. If Home Depot continues this downtrend, it's a strong sign the government goosing is wearing off. We've no doubt the geniuses in Washington, D.C. will order up a fresh boondoggle to fight this trend.

Economy dont looked too hot ...

Summary Box: Home Depot 2nd-quarter net income

THE RESULTS: No. 1 home-improvement retailer Home Depot Inc.'s second-quarter net income rose 7 percent as sales rose 2 percent but fell short of analyst expectations.

CONTEXT: Consumers are still cautious about starting costly home-improvement projects, as shown by Home Depot's sales shortfall. Lowe's, the No. 2 home-improvement retailer, also reported revenue short of analyst expectations. Hot weather also hurt the chains' results.

OUTLOOK: Home Depot cut its revenue forecast for the rest of the year but raised its earnings-per-share expectations to account for share repurchases.

Large-Cap Stocks: Home Depot (HD)

The next logical iteration of SWK is Home Depot (HD), a store that is essentially a clearing house for home and commercial projects.

This is practically the perfect environment for HD. Low interest rates and slow growth mean many homeowners are refinancing and remodeling or simply choosing to do work on their house on their own.

Either way, the tradespeople and do-it-yourself types are rolling into HD to get their supplies. One key indicator underscores the fact that this bullish trend is already underway: Transactions greater than $900 account for more than 20% of HD revenues.

HD stock is up 16% this year and kicks off a solid 1.9% dividend at these prices.

While conditions are attractive for HD now, they’ll only improve as the U.S. — and global — economy grows. Even if rates rise, homeowners still have the cash to upgrade their homes (and tools and gardens).

THIS LONG-TERM UPTREND SPIKES HIGHER

Good news for housing bulls: One of the sector's major players just touched a new all-time high...

Longtime DailyWealth readers are familiar with Steve's bullish outlook on real estate. For years, he has been saying that housing is a great asset to own. He says the value is incredible right now (especially in Florida).

We can judge the health of the housing market from a number of different statistics and stock charts. Today, we're checking in on home-improvement juggernaut Home Depot (HD).

It's the largest home-improvement chain in America, with more than 2,200 stores. It sells everything you need to fix up a kitchen, build a deck, or make any other kind of home additions. In other words, when people buy houses, they head right over to Home Depot.

You can see below that HD shares consistently trounce the market... and they're continuing that trend today. Over the last five years, the stock has soared 250%-plus. And shares are now trading at their highest level ever. This uptrend has shown no sign of slowing...

Stocks to Buy in September: Home Depot (HD)

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) — perennially one of the best performing stocks in the retail sector and among the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s components — is on the move again, up more than 3% over the past two trading sessions to challenge the highs set in June.

This sets up a possible breakout from a five-month consolidation range and the first push to new highs since May.

A couple weeks ago, Home Depot reported profits of $2.25 per share, which beat estimates by 3 cents. That came on a 6.2% rise in revenues.

Analysts at TAG were positive on the company’s results, noting that comp-store sales growth of 6.6% far outpaces rivals thanks to its strong relationship with professional contractors as well as prime real estate locations.

The company will next report results in mid-November. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.80 per share on revenues of $24.4 billion.

Home Depot

This company remains the undisputed leader in the home improvement retail category. Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) is the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,270 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.

Home Depot stores sell various building materials, home improvement products, and lawn and garden products, as well as provide installation, home maintenance and professional service programs to do-it-yourself (DIY), do-it-for-me (DIFM) and professional customers.

The company posted solid second-quarter results but saw some selling on the print on investor concerns of online competition. The stock has rallied back on the company’s strong fundamentals, as well as a highly consolidated industry position that separates it from other retail subsectors. Home Depot remains, the “best house on the retail block” with room for continued upside on strong traffic and share gains.

The horrific storms that hit Texas and Florida this summer are almost certain to drive third-quarter results higher. Given the work to repair could take some time, the potential could continue well into 2018.

Shareholders receive a 2.21% dividend. The UBS price target is $180. The consensus target is $170.54, and shares traded at $162.00.

THE HOME-IMPROVEMENT MARKET IS ON A TEAR

Today's chart highlights the rally in a well-known "fixer upper" stock...

Regular readers know we look at several sectors to tell us what's going on in the U.S. economy. In the past, we've discussed how big banks and manufacturing companies can help us measure economic strength... And that's true in the homebuilding sector, too.

For proof, we'll look at home-improvement giant Home Depot (HD). With more than 2,200 stores in North America, the company offers a one-stop shop for homebuilding and repair-project needs.

In its recent third-quarter results, it reported earnings increased about 15% from the prior year... And same-store sales increased about 8%. This is a sign that consumers are putting money into their homes.

As you can see in the chart below, Home Depot's stock is soaring. Shares have climbed nearly 40% over the past year, and they recently hit new all-time highs.

In short, the fixer-upper sector is on a tear. And a thriving housing market is a great sign for the U.S. economy...
