Home Depot stock price outlook

Highlights

Price near $331, attempting to stabilize after a 12% decline from the $390 zone tested in mid-February.
RSI at 50 with signal line at 52, neutral and just crossing into positive territory for the first time since the selloff began.
Support sits near $320 to $323, with resistance developing between $333 and $342.

Free cash flow growth hit 714% in Q3 2025, an unusual number that reflects the timing of capital expenditures rather than a structural shift, but the underlying business is generating enough cash to fund both Mingledorff's deal and a 2.82% dividend yield simultaneously. Market cap has pulled back from $372 billion at the end of January to $319 billion today. The 20-period EMA at $330 is essentially flat with the current price, while the 50-period EMA at $333 sits just above.

Pro segment growth and housing recovery could drive Home Depot's earnings toward 2040

The Mingledorff's acquisition is not a headline play. It plugs Home Depot directly into the HVAC contractor supply chain across the Southeast, a segment where the Pro customer relationship is stickier and higher-margin than retail DIY. Home Depot has been deliberately shifting its mix toward professional contractors for several years, and each acquisition in that channel compounds the network effect. Digital services for Pro customers, which the company has been quietly building out, add recurring touchpoints that reduce switching costs over time.

Housing turnover is the macro lever that most long-term models rely on, and it has been suppressed by elevated mortgage rates through 2025 and into 2026. When that unlocks, spending on home improvement tends to accelerate quickly. At $14.23 TTM EPS compounding at 8 to 10% annually through 2040, EPS reaches $45 to $55. A 15 to 16x forward multiple on that range produces a price between $675 and $880. $800 sits comfortably in the middle and assumes a housing cycle that eventually normalizes, not one that booms.

Key levels to watch as consolidation develops

In the near term, a hold above $323 and a re-take of $333 to $334 would suggest that the attempt to recover has legs and would set the table for a run to the $342 resistance, where the 100-period EMA is. A breakout above $342 on volume would suggest that the larger downtrend from the February highs is changing. If $323 fails on a close basis, then we look to the 52-week low around $320 for potential support. A move below $320 would be a bigger deal and would require a rethink of the entire chart.

From a broader perspective, the long-term price dynamics largely depend on Home Depot reaching $500 by the end of 2030 and $650 by the end of 2035. A faster path opens up if housing turnover recovers meaningfully before 2028 and the Pro segment continues taking share from independent building material distributors.

In the previous analysis of Home Depot, it was noted that the $370 to $375 zone would act as support and that a break below it would open a deeper decline. That level gave way in late February, and the stock has not recovered it since, with the downtrend extending further than initially expected.
