Financial Report Outlook | Home improvement giant Home Depot (HD.US) struggles in the dilemma of tariffs and high interest rates. Can Q3 performance bring surprises?

According to the Zhitong Finance and Economics app, the world's largest home improvement retailer, Home Depot (HD.US), will release its financial report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 ending in October before the opening of the US stock market this Tuesday. Wall Street analysts' general expectations indicate that Home Depot's Q3 total revenue is expected to increase by approximately 2.5% year-on-year, reaching $41.2 billion. This means that the growth rate will slow down compared to the 6.6% year-on-year increase in the same period last year, due to the impact of high mortgage rates and ongoing Trump tariff pressures. Analysts generally expect the adjusted earnings per share to be $3.84, compared to $3.67 in the same period last year.
