Home Depot - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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.

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
Bear Case

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

Insider selling has been notable, with executives selling a total of 38,188 shares valued at over $15 million in the last 90 days, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
Despite the positive outlook, one analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, indicating that not all market participants are optimistic about its future performance.
The company's high debt-to-equity ratio of 8.65 suggests that it relies heavily on debt financing, which could pose risks if market conditions change or interest rates rise.
Home Depot's quick ratio of 0.31 indicates potential liquidity issues, as it may struggle to cover short-term liabilities with its most liquid assets.
Market volatility, as indicated by a beta of 1.05, suggests that Home Depot's stock price may be more sensitive to market fluctuations, which could lead to increased risk for investors.
