Home Depot Drops On Revenue Miss, Lower Outlook<\/span><\/h2>\n

Home Depot <\/b>(HD) shares are falling 2.5% ahead of the open after missing Q1 sales expectations and lowering its full-year outlook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the home improvement retailer\u2019s results compared to analysts\u2019 estimates:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • EPS: $3.82 vs $3.80 expected<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Revenue: $37.26 billion vs $38.28 billion expected<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It was the company\u2019s largest revenue miss in 20 years and the second quarter in a row it missed sales estimates.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Comparable sales dropped 4.6% in the U.S. with the CFO saying lower lumber prices accounted for more than 2% of that drop.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Home Depot now expects sales to decline between 2% and 5% in 2023 vs its previous outlook for sales to be flat.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The retailer also expects full-year EPS to fall 7% to 13% vs the 5.7% estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Retail Sales Rise Less Than Expected<\/span><\/h2>\n

    U.S. retail sales rose less than expected in April.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The Commerce Department reported retail sales rose 0.4% last month to $686.1 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    That was a rebound from the 0.7% decrease in March but lower than expectations for a 0.8% increase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Total sales were 1.6% higher year over year.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Retail sales excluding autos rose 0.4% in April, in-line with expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Coming Up: Homebuilder Sentiment<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The National Association of Homebuilders releases its May sentiment index at 10:00 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    That survey is expected to be unchanged from April at 45.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Confidence among builders remains in negative territory but has been improving in recent months as the 6-month expectations improve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Builders are looking ahead to lower mortgage rates in the future as the Fed appears to be done with the latest rate-hiking cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In Case You Missed It<\/span><\/h2>\n
