Robert Ohmes has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including Home Depot’s stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results and resilient sales trends despite a soft housing backdrop. He highlights that earnings and comparable sales topped consensus, with improving monthly comps and pro-customer strength offsetting weaker big-ticket discretionary projects, supporting a higher earnings base going into 2026.
At the same time, Ohmes acknowledges near-term margin pressure from the GMS acquisition, SRS price investments, and elevated first-quarter operating expenses, but views these as transitory. He expects profitability to improve over the year as comps ease, SRS organic growth accelerates, and Home Depot continues to outperform a roughly flat home-improvement market, justifying a $430 price objective based on ongoing share gains and enhanced capabilities with complex Pro customers.
According to TipRanks, Ohmes is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 8.0% and a 58.94% success rate. Ohmes covers the Consumer Defensive sector, focusing on stocks such as Costco, Dollar General, and Kroger Company.
In another report released yesterday, Telsey Advisory also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $410.00 price target.
