Home Depot's Strategy for Sustainable Growth in Challenging Times
Big bets despite slowing growth
Home Depot CEO Ted Decker called 2023 "a year of moderation" after blistering growth from 2020 to 2022. The company is making significant acquisitions, reducing fixed costs, and targeting professional contractors to offset the impact of slowing growth.
Investing through the cycle
A financially strong company like Home Depot continues to invest in new stores, improve online ordering, and target professional contractors even during cyclical downturns. By achieving higher lows and higher highs, Home Depot aims to sustain long-term growth potential.
A results-driven stock
Home Depot's focus on growing earnings and dividends over time has contributed to its steady stock performance. Despite current challenges, the company's solid dividend yield and value make it an attractive choice for patient investors.
