Current trend

Shares of The Home Depot Inc., which owns a chain of home improvement stores, remain in a corrective trend, holding at 380.00.

Shares came under renewed pressure from investors after media reports emerged that US Citizenship and Immigration Services raids on the chain's parking lots and stores were allegedly based on information provided by The Home Depot Inc. employees to law enforcement. The stores use the Flock Safety system, which scans license plates and makes video recordings intended for internal security, but in practice this data can also be provided to government agencies, which can use it at their discretion, including passing it on to the Immigration Service. Against this backdrop, several major investors, including Zevin Asset Management, Walmart Inc., and Amazon.com Inc., have asked the company for official clarification on how exactly Flock Safety data is used, as they do not want to be implicated in potential government action against the public. Experts warn that such practices could create legal and financial risks for management, especially if investors begin to cut their stakes en masse or withdraw capital, which could damage market capitalization and reputation. At the same time, questions remain about what specific control measures the company plans to implement, how effective they will be in practice, how regulators, human rights organizations, and shareholders themselves will respond, as well as the possible consequences for consumer confidence.

As for the company's quarterly report, the publication of data for the fourth quarter will take place on February 24: revenue is expected to be 38.14 billion dollars, significantly lower than the previous quarter's figure of 41.4 billion dollars, and also below the 39.7 billion dollars in the same period last year, while earnings per share could be 2.54 dollars, 3.74 dollars and 3.13 dollars, respectively.

No new dividend payment date has been set yet, but shareholders were sent 2.30 dollars per share on December 18, 2025, representing a quarterly yield of 2.57%, still slightly above the sector median of 2.16%.
