Where Will Home Depot's Stock Price Be In 2027?

Home Depot is trading near the lower end of its 52-week range after falling from a September 2025 peak, driven by housing affordability issues and weak consumer sentiment. A 12-month price target of $367.94 implies upside, with a buy recommendation and high confidence. Q1 fiscal 2026 results showed revenue growth to $41.77 billion, modest comparable sales growth, and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.43, while operating margin compressed due partly to SRS intangible amortization. Housing starts increased, furnishings spending rose, and pro and specialty reach expanded through SRS Distribution locations and the GMS acquisition. Operating cash flow increased sharply, insider net buying appeared supportive, and risks center on consumer sentiment and declining transactions and free cash flow.

"Home Depot is down 13.44% over the past month, 11.5% year to date, and 18.25% over the trailing year. The Q1 fiscal 2026 earnings report on May 19, 2026 showed revenue of $41.77 billion, up 4.79% year over year, with comparable sales of +0.6% and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.43.

Furnishings spending climbed to $525.1 billion annualized in March 2026. SRS Distribution's 1,280+ locations and the GMS acquisition ($900 million in incremental Q3 revenue over eight weeks) extend the pro/specialty trade reach. Operating cash flow surged 39.47% in Q1."

"Insider net buying across 58 recent transactions reinforces internal confidence. Our bull-case path lands at $426.22, a 40.93% return, broadly aligned with the analyst consensus target of $400.03 and 22 Buy or Strong Buy ratings. The bear case starts with the consumer. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index sits at 53.3, in pessimistic territory. Customer transactions fell 1.3% in Q1, free cash flow declined 22.54% in FY2025, and net interest expe"
