Home Depot, Lowe's Risk-Rewards are 'Attractive' - Atlantic Equities

An Atlantic Equities analyst reiterated an Overweight rating on both Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Lowe's Cos. (NYSE:LOW) in a note Thursday, stating the current risk rewards are attractive.

"Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) robust 3-yr comp trends, despite cautious commentary from multiple suppliers, are indicative of the companies' unique positions as diversified home improvement retailers, primarily exposed to big-ticket project demand and repair & maintenance activity," said the analyst, who has a $370 per share price target on Home Depot and $300 per share price target on Lowe's.

He added that this demand is "underpinned by >40% house price appreciation in two years and a structurally higher utilisation of the home post-Covid, strong long-term trends should continue."

"While we acknowledge the near-term risk of a recession, we believe the market is already pricing in >10% and >18% EPS declines in FY23 at HD and LOW respectively. However, at the former, we believe a low-single-digit EPS decline is a more realistic downside scenario, while at the latter, flat or even low-single-digit growth is achievable," the analyst concluded.

Home Depot (NYSE:HD) gained more than 1% after reporting quarterly results that topped estimates, though unchanged guidance took some gloss off the results “given high investor expectations surrounding the quarter,” Goldman Sachs said in a note.

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:HD) said on Wednesday it will change its pay policy for hourly employees starting Jan. 16, with associates being paid based on exact time punches.

"Our policy has been to round total shift time up or down to the nearest 15 minutes ... we're changing our practice nationwide to pay hourly associates to the nearest minute," a company spokesperson said.

Business Insider first reported on the development, adding that several Home Depot employees filed lawsuits in recent years accusing the company of purposefully rounding down their pay.

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), some employers track employee hours worked in 15 minute increments, and the FLSA allows an employer to round employee time to the nearest quarter hour.

(Reuters) - Home Depot (NYSE:HD) has agreed to pay $72.5 million to end a long-running class-action lawsuit alleging the largest U.S. home improvement retailer underpaid workers in California.

The preliminary settlement was filed late Thursday in a San Francisco federal court, and requires a judge's approval.

Half of the settlement, after taking out legal fees and costs, goes to hourly employees who worked closing shifts and were required to wait off-the-clock after stores were locked.

Another 41% goes to employees who were not paid for time needed to collect and put on aprons, and 9% goes to employees who lost pay because Home Depot rounded their clock-in and clock-out times to the nearest quarter hour.

The settlement covers more than 272,000 people employed by Home Depot in California since March 8, 2012 and is "fair, reasonable and adequate," the plaintiffs' lawyers said.

Home Depot denied wrongdoing, but settled to avoid the burden, cost and uncertainty of litigation, court papers show.

The Atlanta-based retailer said on Friday that it was glad to settle, so it could focus on serving employees and customers.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The lawsuit began in March 2016, and a trial had been scheduled for this year.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs plan to seek up to $24.2 million, or one-third of the settlement amount, for legal fees, plus up to $3.5 million for expenses.

The case is Utne v Home Depot USA Inc, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 16-01854.

Home Depot cut to Market Perform ahead of Q2
Home Depot (NYSE:HD) akcje spadły ostatnio o ponad 1% przed dzisiejszym rynkiem po tym, jak Telsey obniżył rating spółki do Market Performance z Outperformance z ceną docelową 315,00 USD przed raportem o zyskach za II kwartał / 2 w dniu 24 sierpnia.

Analitycy twierdzą, że "spodziewają się, że Home Depot doświadczy nieco bardziej gwałtownego spowolnienia związanego ze słabymi trendami na rynku mieszkaniowym".

Przewidują również, że "konsumenci pozostaną ostrożni w wydatkach, zwłaszcza na duże pozycje i projekty, oraz dalszą normalizację po silnym COVID-19 i rządowych korzyściach związanych z bodźcami z ostatnich trzech lat", dodając:

Chociaż akcje prawdopodobnie odzwierciedlają wiele negatywnych wiadomości i trudnych warunków operacyjnych, w tym najniższy rynek mieszkaniowy, nie spodziewamy się, aby w najbliższym czasie osiągały lepsze wyniki niż rynek, biorąc pod uwagę passę, jaką miała od maja 2023 r. (wzrost o ~ 17% od 16 maja) i obecną wycenę.

Home Depot (NYSE:HD), a leading home improvement retailer, has reported its second-quarter results today.

Home Depot reported a comparable sales decrease of 2% for the second quarter, an outcome that exceeded the estimated decline of 4.1%. Comparable sales in the United States saw a 2% decrease, surpassing the estimated decline of 3.6%.

The company's net sales amounted to $42.9 billion, demonstrating a 2% year-over-year decrease but exceeding the estimated figure of $42.1B. Earnings per share (EPS) were reported at $4.65, compared to $5.05 in the same period the previous year. The estimated EPS was $4.46.

Home Depot maintained its outlook for the fiscal year 2024, expecting comparable sales to be within the range of -2% to -5%. The company also still expects to see FY EPS decline between -7% to -13% compared to 2022.

"We were pleased with our performance in the second quarter," said Ted Decker, chair, president and CEO.

"While there was strength in categories associated with smaller projects, we did see continued pressure in certain big-ticket, discretionary categories. We remain very positive on the medium-to-long term outlook for home improvement and our ability to grow share in a large and fragmented market.”

HD shares trade 0.6% lower in premarket Tuesday.
