Michael Lasser has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Home Depot’s strong positioning and growth potential. The upcoming Investor & Analyst Conference is expected to emphasize the company’s long-term prospects, despite recent moderation in the home improvement sector. Home Depot’s strategic focus on the pro channel, commercial, and new construction markets, along with its expansion of supply chain capabilities, positions it well for future growth.
Additionally, Home Depot’s investments in store productivity and associate empowerment are likely to drive further gains. The company is also expected to address industry challenges such as elevated interest rates and housing turnover, projecting an improvement in trends later next year. Moreover, Home Depot’s ongoing integration of acquired assets is anticipated to enhance market share and earnings power, potentially leading to a low-double-digit EPS growth. Overall, these factors suggest a favorable risk-reward ratio for Home Depot’s stock.
According to TipRanks, Lasser is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 13.0% and a 63.77% success rate. Lasser covers the Consumer Cyclical sector, focusing on stocks such as Home Depot, Ulta Beauty, and Five Below.
