Home Depot ( HD 1.62%) is one of the best-performing stocks of all time. Since the company's initial public offering (IPO) in 1981, its stock has grown from a small home improvement chain to one of the most valuable retailers in the world, pioneering a new retail model -- a big-box home improvement store.

Americans will soon accept that high mortgage and interest rates are here to stay and stop delaying projects, Melius Research said.

Home Depot Inc (NYSE: HD) is “on this path to get a little bit stronger in 2025”, says Simeon Gutman – a Morgan Stanley analyst. The home improvement retailer has inched up in recent sessions even though its full-year outlook failed to match expectations on February 25.

Recent results from Home Depot and rival Lowe's (NYSE: LOW) gave cause for optimism that growth is returning. Lowe's comparable sales increased by 0.2% in its fourth quarter, and management expects comparable sales to be flat to up 1% for the full year.
