Reason
DA Davidson lowered the firm's price target on Home Depot to $407 from $430 but keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its FY25 and FY26 guidance. The company is taking a prudent approach to 2026, though the management is actually more bullish with the log term algo once housing recovers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Home Depot's EPS outlook is still planned up mid-to-high single digits, but per the firm's conversations, that is more beatable than it was in the past, DA Davidson added.

RBC Capital lowered the firm's price target on Home Depot to $366 from $376 and keeps a Sector Perform rating on the shares after attending the company's Investor Day presentation. The firm maintains that the company is very well-positioned for an eventual housing recovery, but the timing of that recovery might be further in the future than many are hoping for, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The prospect of lower rates will continue to put upward pressure on shares, but shares already seem to be embedding a fairly rapid housing recovery, RBC added.

Telsey Advisory analyst Joseph Feldman lowered the firm's price target on Home Depot to $410 from $430 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. While Home Depot is a strong retailer, the sector is several years into a challenging home improvement market, the analyst tells investors. The firm believes the industry is in a bottoming phase but notes there will likely not be much improvement until 2027 and beyond. Overall, the firm continues to believe Home Depot will be a long-term winner in retail.
