Home Depot reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $45.3 billion and adjusted earnings of $4.68 a share, narrowly missing Wall Street forecasts of $45.4 billion and $4.72, respectively. It marked the home-improvement chain’s first simultaneous shortfall on both the top and bottom lines since May 2014, even as revenue rose 4.9% from a year earlier. Comparable sales increased 1.0%, below analysts’ 1.39% consensus, reflecting consumers’ continued shift toward smaller remodeling projects. U.S. comparable sales rose 1.4%. Net income slipped 0.2% to $4.55 billion, while operating income came in at $6.56 billion. Despite the softer quarter, the company reaffirmed its full-year outlook for roughly 1% comparable-sales growth and an operating margin of about 13%. Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail said monthly sales trends improved through the quarter, supporting the decision to maintain the forecast. Investors reacted cautiously; Home Depot shares fell about 1% in pre-market trading following the release.
