Outlook
Home Depot reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting revenue growth of approximately 2.8%, alongside an expected decline in EPS of around 3%. While stable revenue growth and sustained operating margins reflect a relatively strong financial position and effective cost control, the moderate pace of comparable sales growth in the U.S. may signal a potential slowdown ahead.
The decline in cash flows is a point of concern and warrants close monitoring in the upcoming quarters. However, capital expenditures remain under control, suggesting a cautious investment approach in the face of ongoing market uncertainty.
In summary, while Home Depot maintains a strong market position, macroeconomic headwinds and weakening sales momentum may limit the pace of future earnings growth.
