Home Depot - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Home Depot
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Home Depot:

Home Depot reported a strong quarterly revenue of $40.22 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $39.31 billion, indicating robust demand and operational efficiency.
The company has a high return on equity of 452.60%, suggesting effective management and a strong ability to generate profits from shareholders' equity.

The current stock price is $402.76, which is near its 52-week high of $421.56, suggesting that the stock is performing well and may continue to appreciate in value.

Home Depot
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Home Depot for these reasons:

Home Depot's high debt-to-equity ratio of 8.65 indicates significant leverage, which could pose risks during economic downturns or rising interest rates.
Insider selling has been observed, with executives selling substantial shares, which may signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term prospects.
The company's quick ratio of 0.31 suggests potential liquidity issues, as it indicates that Home Depot may struggle to meet short-term obligations without additional financing.
Despite a strong revenue increase of 6.6% year-over-year, the net margin of 9.45% may indicate that profit growth is not keeping pace with revenue growth, which could affect overall profitability.
One analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, which could reflect concerns about the stock's valuation or market conditions that may impact future performance.
