    Home Depot trades 32% below peak following multi-year sub-trend sales

    Question

    Home Depot trades 32% below peak following multi-year sub-trend sales

    Direct answer

    Home Depot continues to face macro headwinds from housing turnover stagnation and delayed large-ticket remodel projects, leaving the stock 32% off its peak. Sales growth has lagged historical averages for several consecutive operating cycles. The resulting equity multiple compression has elevated Home Depot's dividend yield to more than triple that of the broad S&P 500, positioning HD as a high-yield home improvement bellwether.
