Market breadth indicators align with Home Depot stock price today being steady at $368. However, drinking is encouraged during a private talk and sipping with Bill Samuels Jr. or a bourbon dinner with the Samuels House’s private chef (both add-ons to the price of a stay). Home Depot has had no concerns tapping the credit markets to finance the business in recent years. The firm was able to raise $10 billion in debt during the first half of 2024 in order to finance part of the $18.25 billion SRS Distribution acquisition. This left Home Depot with a total debt above $53 billion at the end of 2024. Management has halted share repurchases with higher expected debt service as a result of the SRS acquisition; however, we model share repurchases to resume at the end of 2026, after the GMS transaction has closed and cash flows are more certain. Including the impact of the SRS acquisition, EBIT is forecast to cover the net interest expense 10 times at the end of 2025. Watching Home Depot stock price today at $369.02, sector strategists mention that improving supply chain efficiencies could enhance gross margins, helping offset any slowdown in discretionary consumer spending.
