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. 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
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The company's high debt-to-equity ratio of 8.65 may raise concerns about financial stability, as it indicates that Home Depot relies heavily on debt to finance its operations.
  • Recent stock price fluctuations, including a drop of $6.96 in one trading session, could signal volatility and uncertainty in the market, which may deter risk-averse investors.
  • Insider selling activity, while sometimes a sign of confidence, can also raise red flags for investors, as it may indicate that executives believe the stock is at or near its peak value.
  • With a current ratio of 1.13, Home Depot's ability to cover short-term liabilities is only slightly above the minimum threshold, which could be a concern for investors focused on liquidity.
  • Analysts have mixed ratings, with one sell rating among the majority of buy and hold ratings, suggesting that not all market experts are confident in the stock's future performance.
