Robert Ohmes has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding Home Depot’s strategic acquisition plans and financial outlook. The acquisition of GMS by SRS, a company under Home Depot, is expected to add a complementary vertical to SRS’s existing business, enhancing its capabilities in the distribution of specialty building products. This strategic move is anticipated to be accretive to Home Depot’s adjusted earnings per share within the first year, excluding synergies, which indicates a positive financial impact.
Moreover, Home Depot’s focus on expanding its Pro capabilities to manage more complex projects, along with the expectation of continued share gains, supports the Buy rating. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, Home Depot is poised to accelerate growth both organically and through acquisitions. The price objective of $450 reflects confidence in Home Depot’s ability to enhance its market position and financial performance over time.
