Quality

58

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 58 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Middle

42

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 42 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as middle. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

61

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 61 of 100, recorded as favorable. Stored records show 13 consecutive years of dividend payments. Share count has been reduced at about 1.3% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

The Home Depot, Inc. is the world’s largest home improvement retailer based on net sales for fiscal 2025. We offer our customers a wide assortment of home improvement products, building materials, lawn and garden products, d cor products, and facilities MRO products, in stores and online. We also provide a number of services, including home improvement installation services, and tool and equipment rental. As of the end of fiscal 2025, we o perated 2,359 stor es located throughout the U.S. (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the territories of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam), Canada, and Mexico. The Home Depot stores average approximately 104,000 square feet of enclosed space, with approximately 24,000 additional square feet of outside garden area. We also maintain a network of distribution and fulfillment centers, as well as mobile applications and e-commerce websites in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. For disclosure purposes, the geographic operating segments of the U.S., Canada and Mexico are aggregated into one reportable segment (the "Primary segment").

In fiscal 2024, we acquired SRS, a leading residential specialty trade distribution company across several verticals engaged in the distribution of residential and commercial roofing products and complementary building products, landscape supplies, and swimming pool supplies serving the professional roofer, landscaper, and pool contractor. In fiscal 2025, SRS completed the acquisition of GMS, a leading distributor of specialty building products, including drywall, ceilings, steel framing and other complementary construction products. At the end of fiscal 2025, SRS, which includes GMS, operated over 1,250 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, most of which have a distribution center, material handling and delivery equipment, and inventory. Following the GMS acquisition, SRS is organized as four different lines of business: roofing and building products, interior and construction products, landscape, and pool. Each line of business was determined to represent an operating segment, none of which are deemed reportable segments.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, when we refer to "The Home Depot," "Home Depot," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" in this report, we are referring to The Home Depot, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Home Depot, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that was incorporated in 1978. Our Store Support Center (corporate headquarters) is located at 2455 Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. Our telephone number at that address is (770) 433-8211.
