Although we are still in the middle of a pullback, the star of this week was The Home Depot, Inc. (HD). On Tuesday, May 18th, Home Depot delivered Q1 2021 earnings results. The company posted top-line revenue of $37.5 billion, up 86% year-over-year and sales of $34.5 billion, a 32% increase year-over-year.
The company also reported that they had 447.2 million customer transactions, up 19.3% from a year earlier.
Clearly the middle class is carrying the economy by staying home and improving their number one long-term investment: their homes.
I expect the up warding trending sales in HD to continue into Christmas 2021. If you are holding these shares you are well positioned for future profit.
Stay Positive. Stay Disciplined.
