Home Depot's Q1 earnings report showed a decline in revenue, transactions, and average ticket, with net income and diluted EPS also down. Comparable sales were weaker than expected, with US comps at -3.2%. Despite challenges, the company reaffirmed its fiscal 2024 guidance. The earnings call highlighted reduced big ticket transactions and challenges in financing big renovation projects. Inventory decreased significantly, while expenses grew faster than sales. The consumer pullback was evident in the delayed start to spring and weakening consumer trends.









Home Depot's net income fell 7% over the last year, a 5th straight quarter of negative YoY growth. That's the longest slide since 2008-09. $HD Video: https://t.co/1mpJfpQMtM https://t.co/gLUyIV55Wb
Two notes from the $HD earnings call: -they’re through the headwinds from everyone buying grills and lawn equipment during Covid. Signs of green shoots for demand in that stuff now. -stronger headwinds from low resale housing turnover and the financing of big renovation projects
