Home Depot

Home Depot is among the world’s largest Home Improvement Retail sector businesses in the world.  Home Depot’s employees generate $5.323B in profits on $90.961B of revenue.  Global output in the Home Improvement Retail business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but Home Depot is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Home Improvement Retail segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

Home Depot’s ticker symbol HD has recently been trading near $39.50 a share.  The Home Depot corporate headquarters in Atlanta GA predicts Home Improvement Retail profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $77.979B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 1.25, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves higher, Home Depot moves more aggressively.
