Yahoo Finance also points to Home Depot's recent earnings, noting that the company reported FY2026 Q2 results on Aug. 18, with shares rising 2% in the following session. Revenue rose 5.7% year over year to $47.86 billion, helped by the GMS acquisition, while comparable sales increased 1.7%, including a 1.3% gain in the U.S.
In the quarter, Home Depot said customers continued to spend on smaller repair and maintenance projects as affordability concerns weighed on larger renovations.
