Home Depot to report Q1 results May 19

Home Depot will report fiscal first-quarter 2026 results before markets open on Tuesday, May 19, according to the company’s investor relations calendar. The Atlanta-based retailer lists a 9:00 a.m. ET webcast that day, putting investors’ focus on whether demand from professional contractors and weather-related repair work can offset pressure from high interest rates and slower housing turnover. (ir.homedepot.com) (tipranks.com) TipRanks said in a note published Friday that options traders are pricing a roughly $15 per-share move in Home Depot stock using the May 22 weekly options chain. (ir.homedepot.com) The implied move gives a market-based measure of how much volatility traders expect immediately after the report. Home Depot last reported results on Feb. 24, when it posted fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 sales of $38.2 billion and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.72. The company said full-year fiscal 2025 sales rose 3.2% to $164.7 billion, while adjusted diluted earnings per share fell to $14.69 from $15.24 a year earlier.

Tuesday, May 19 is Home Depot’s fiscal first-quarter 2026 earnings date, and the company says the release and webcast are scheduled for 9:00 a.m. ET. The same investor calendar shows Home Depot’s annual meeting of shareholders is set for Thursday, May 21, also at 9:00 a.m. (tipranks.com) ET. MarketBeat and Zacks both list the report as due before the opening bell, though Home Depot’s own investor page is the primary source for the timing. Zacks said the consensus calls for first-quarter revenue of about $41.5 billion and earnings per share of $3.42. (ir.homedepot.com) ### Why are housing conditions part of the setup for this report? Home Depot’s 2025 annual report said the company has been operating through “elevated interest rates, pressured housing affordability, and general economic uncertainty.” Those conditions matter because housing turnover and larger discretionary remodeling projects are closely tied to how often customers take on big-ticket home improvement work. (ir.homedepot.com) Ted Decker, Home Depot’s chair, president and chief executive officer, said on Feb. 24 that fourth-quarter results reflected “ongoing consumer uncertainty and pressure in housing.” He also said that, after adjusting for storms, underlying demand was relatively stable through the year. (ir.homedepot.com) Zacks said ahead of the May 19 report that Home Depot faces near-term macroeconomic challenges including elevated mortgage rates, weak housing turnover and softer demand for large discretionary remodeling projects. That framing is from an analyst preview, not company guidance. (ir.homedepot.com) ### What numbers from the last quarter set the baseline? Feb. 24 is the latest official checkpoint investors have from Home Depot before the first-quarter release. In that report, comparable sales in the fourth quarter rose 0.4%, while U.S. comparable sales rose 0.3%. (ir.homedepot.com) The same filing said the prior-year quarter had an extra 14th week that added about $2.5 billion in sales and about $0.30 in diluted earnings per share, which affected year-over-year comparisons. Full-year net earnings were $14.2 billion, or $14.23 per diluted share. (zacks.com) ### Where could Home Depot still show strength? Home Depot’s annual report said the company’s growth strategy remains centered on stores, digital capabilities and winning with professional customers. The report also said the performance of 37 new stores built over the past three years had exceeded expectations. (ir.homedepot.com) The company completed its $18.25 billion acquisition of SRS Distribution in June 2024, adding a business that serves professional roofers, landscapers and pool contractors. Zacks said contributions from SRS and the GMS acquisition are expected to support Home Depot’s Pro ecosystem in the quarter to be reported. (ir.homedepot.com) ### What are traders and investors likely to watch first on Tuesday? A roughly $15 implied move from the options market points to close attention on sales, earnings per share and any comments from management on demand trends. Investors are also likely to look for updates on professional customer spending, weather-related repair demand and whether the company reiterates or changes its fiscal 2026 outlook after the Feb. 24 report. (ir.homedepot.com) Home Depot’s next public milestones are already on the calendar. The company lists its first-quarter earnings webcast for May 19 at 9:00 a.m. ET, its annual shareholder meeting for May 21, and its second-quarter 2026 earnings release for Aug. 18.
