Is Home Depot Headed to $45 and Beyond?
HD
+105.27%
in
833 days
Filed under: Home Depot (HD), Stocks to Buy  The shares of Home Depot (HD) first discussed on May 20, 2009 at a price of $23.83, continue to venture north this winter, pushing above $37, and now may be a good time to consider taking some profits with HD, if you're in at/near $24.
However, those investors who can tolerate the risk can maintain their full position and go for an even bigger gain, as HD will likely continue to head higher.
HD will likely post a 2.5-3.0% revenue increase in FY2012, and a similar rise in FY2013, on better international store performance. Meanwhile, U.S. store traffi...

Filed under: Home Depot (HD), Stocks to Buy  As outlined in September, the better days and quarters have started to arrive for Home Depot (HD), first discussed on May 20, 2009, at a price of $23.83, and I still like the shares here.
The shares have vectored north nicely in the past three months, from about $26 to current levels near $35. <>Look for HD to post a 3.0% to 3.3% revenue increase in FY2012, after a 3.5% to 4.0% rise in FY2011, on better international store performance, and about 10 net new stores opened. U.S. store traffic will continue to gradually improve, but big-ticket remodeling r...

Filed under: Home Depot (HD), Stocks to Buy Home Depot Inc.'s (HD) first quarter report mirrored the progress of the U.S. economy during the initial stage of the recovery: modest growth, with the prospect of improving results, but not a return to robust growth.
Home Depot earned 45 cents per share in the first quarter, versus the Thomson/Reuters First Call estimate of 40 cents. A year ago, the company earned 30 cents per share.
Revenue increased 4.3% to $16.9 billion, excluding a one-time charge. Equally significant, Home Depot now expects 2010 sales to increase 3.5% and earnings to rise 21% ...

In a time of economic turmoil, high unemployment and tight liquidity, what could be more practical than pawn shops and cash advance outlets?

Filed under: Earnings reports, Bad news, Home Depot (HD), Stocks to Buy, Recession The homebuilding sector collapse has been longer and deeper than even the most pessimistic expected. Prices continue to fall and foreclosures keep rising. With so much supply on the market, the end does not seem near. The result of the carnage will be a change in behavior that always comes with crisis. The biggest trend I see happening will be with respect to new construction, or, shall we say, the lack thereof. <>Homebuilders are operating at historically low levels, meaning less supply on the market. But the ass...

Three Stocks That Look Cheap Here

It would seem that I made a lot of people mad in previous articles, when I claimed that Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Qualcomm (QCOM) didn't deserve their current evaluations. Well, I decided to take a different approach this time, and list a few stocks that I thought were trading at a lower evaluation than they were currently worth. In the case of HD, this one might still require a few more months to start to rebound, but I am recommending getting into it now, as it will rebound so quickly when it does.
