Operating income covers interest more than 8 times over — plenty of capacity to service debt.

💲Is the price expensive now?
Not cheap (fair to slightly pricey)
Because it is a good, popular company, those expectations are already priced in.
Metrics · P/E 22.3
💡Buybacks distort book equity, so we judge on ROA instead of ROE. ROA 12.6% and 8.7x interest coverage are solid; ~22x forward P/E is about average.

Economic Moat · Key Business Segments
Home Depot is the world's largest home-improvement retailer, operating 2,000+ stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; its TTM revenue of $169.2B is about 1.9x that of second-place Lowe's (TTM $88.4B). It has built dedicated supply-chain and delivery infrastructure for Pro (professional contractor) customers, who make up more than half of sales (source: company IR · stockanalysis).
Dominant scale
2,000+ stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and $169.2B in TTM revenue make it #1 in home improvement, about 1.9x second-place Lowe's.
Pro (contractor) customer base
Dedicated bulk-purchase programs and delivery networks for Pro customers, who are more than half of sales, drive high loyalty.
Supply chain and logistics
In-house distribution centers and a last-mile delivery network serve integrated omnichannel (online and in-store) orders.
Economies of scale
Overwhelming purchasing scale gives it pricing power over suppliers, sustaining operating margins in the 12% range.
10-Year Financial Trends
Revenue grew at a 9-year CAGR of +6.4%, from $94.6B in FY2016 to $164.7B in FY2025 (fiscal year ends late Jan). Diluted EPS (+9.2%) outgrew net income (+6.6%), driven by large buybacks more than growth: diluted shares fell ~19% over nine years, from ~1.23B in FY2016 to ~1.00B in FY2025. Sustained buybacks eroded equity, pushing it near negative some years (e.g., -$1.7B at FY2021-end), so ROE and P/B are omitted as distorted (see ROA above). Meanwhile operating margin slipped from 15.3% in FY2022 to 12.7% in FY2025 as recent growth slowed (source: SEC EDGAR 10-K XBRL · stockanalysis).

9-Year CAGR: Revenue +6.4% · Operating Income +5.0% · Net Income +6.6% · EPS +9.2%
Sources: SEC EDGAR XBRL (companyfacts, CIK 0000354950) · stockanalysis · company IR. Home Depot's fiscal year ends in late Jan/early Feb; EDGAR fiscal-year labels (e.g., FY2025 = 2025-02-03 to 2026-02-01) are aligned to stockanalysis labels. Revenue, operating income, EPS, and operating margin span 10 years (FY2016-FY2025); P/E covers the last 5 years (FY2021-FY2025, stockanalysis) due to data limits. Because sustained buybacks pushed equity near negative in several years, the ROE and P/B series are replaced by ROA owing to equity distortion.
Mega-Cap Value Metric Comparison
Home Depot's revenue (TTM $169.2B) is about 1.9x Lowe's (TTM $88.4B), and its operating margin (12.4% vs 11.6%) is narrowly higher. However, its P/E (24.1x vs 18.6x) is above Lowe's, earning it a valuation premium. Both companies share a quirk: years of buybacks have left equity small or negative, producing extreme ROE and P/B figures (source: stockanalysis).

Key Risk Factors (from 10-K)
●
Housing market and rate sensitivity— If high rates slow home sales and remodeling demand, revenue takes a direct hit — one factor behind the margin softening of the past two to three years.Source: Company 10-K Risk Factors
●
Margin downtrend— Operating margin fell from 15.3% in FY2022 to 12.7% in FY2025, pressured by higher costs and wages and by expanded investment in the Pro segment.Source: SEC EDGAR
●
Buyback-driven equity erosion— Years of buybacks have pushed equity near negative in several fiscal years (e.g., -$1.7B in FY2021). This is a source of EPS growth and the flip side of rising leverage; it distorts ROE and P/B, limiting their usefulness.Source: SEC EDGAR XBRL · stockanalysis
●
Intensifying competition— Brick-and-mortar rivals like Lowe's and expanding online retail such as Amazon create price-competition pressure.Source: Company 10-K Risk Factors

Q. What are Home Depot's (HD) key value-investing metrics?P/E (TTM) 24.1x, operating margin 12.4%, net margin 8.4%, ROA 12.6%, dividend yield 2.71%, and a 9-year revenue CAGR of +6.4% (sources: stockanalysis · SEC EDGAR, as of 2026-08-19). Because buybacks have left equity very small, ROE and P/B are of limited use.
Q. How is Home Depot as a dividend stock?It's a dividend-growth stock that has raised its payout consistently, currently yielding about 2.71% with a payout ratio near 65%. That said, it does not hold an ultra-long streak of consecutive increases like a Dividend King or Aristocrat. (This is informational, not a buy or sell recommendation.)
Q. Why did EPS grow faster than net income, and why aren't ROE and P/B shown?Home Depot has run large buybacks for years, shrinking diluted shares by about 19% over nine years (~1.23B to ~1.00B), so EPS (+9.2%) grew faster than net income (+6.6%). For the same reason, book equity became very small and at times negative, distorting ROE and P/B to extremes, so this report uses ROA (12.6%), profitability against total assets, instead. This reflects aggressive return of profits to shareholders, not financial weakness.
Q. Who are the main competitors?Its direct home-improvement retail competitor is Lowe's (LOW). Home Depot leads Lowe's on revenue and operating margin but trades at a higher P/E.
