Home Depot

continues to see a tough year ahead for the home improvement market, the company said at its latest investor conference, but there’s still a glimmer of hope ahead.

Home Depot

(ticker: HD) repeated its fiscal-year sales and same-store sales numbers on Tuesday—both declining from 2% to 5% from the year before. It expects earnings per share to fall from 7% to 13%. Operating margin will range between 14.3% and 14.0%.

Last month, the world’s largest home-improvement retailer cut its guidance when it reported first-quarter earnings. The retailer pointed to softening consumer spending—a sentiment management reiterated on Tuesday, calling 2023 a year of “moderating demand.”

“We don’t quite know what the Fed’s posture will be, we don’t quite know what the follow-up form the consumer will be,” said Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail.

And while McPhail didn’t forecast how

3 Home Improvement Stocks to Keep Watching

The surge in interest rates and heightened inflationary pressures dampened consumer spending in the home improvement sector. However, with the easing of inflation and indications of a potential pause in rate hikes, there is optimism for a resurgence in home improvement demand.

Given this backdrop, it might be wise to add fundamentally sound stocks Frontdoor, Inc. (FTDR), Steelcase Inc. (SCS), and Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (HVT) to your watchlist.

Although inflation remains at stubbornly high levels despite easing, consumer spending surged 0.8% in April, as reported by the Commerce Department. While stronger than expected economic data reinforces the need for further rate hikes, the uncertainty in the regional banking sector kept investors hopeful of a pause instead.

Ben Johnston, chief operating officer at Kapitus, expects continued demand for home renovations as housing purchases decline. He foresees the overall cost of home renovations to

America’s home improvement boom appears to be over

New York
CNN
—

Americans turned into DIY fanatics during the pandemic, beautifying their apartments, homes and condos while they were stuck inside and tired of looking at the same drab interior every day.

But the Covid emergency is over, prices are (much) higher, consumers are growing fearful of a recession and people are spending less at Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Lowe’s on Tuesday lowered its profit and sales outlook for the year, saying consumers were spending less on home improvement. It comes on the heels of rival Home Depot also posting disappointing sales and a somber forecast last week.

“We are updating our full-year outlook to reflect softer-than-expected consumer demand for discretionary purchases,” said Ellison. “We remain optimistic about the medium-to-long-term outlook for home improvement.”

Shares of Lowe’s (LOW) were up 2% Tuesday.

That optimism also hinges on pursuing a different customer, where having rural stores “gives us an

Home Depot Cuts Outlook as Softening Demand Hits Sales

Posted on By Kartika
Home Improvement

(Bloomberg) — Home Depot Inc. cut its outlook for the year after first-quarter sales dropped more than expected, a sign that economic uncertainty is leading to a pullback in home-improvement spending.

Most Read from Bloomberg

The company now expects comparable sales to decline as much as 5% this fiscal year — the first annual fall in 14 years — following a bad start to the year affected by lumber deflation and poor weather, it said Tuesday. Home Depot, which previously predicted sales would remain flat this year, said demand was softening more than it had expected.

The first-quarter results show the company’s performance is starting to lag after several years of soaring home-improvement spending that was sparked by a booming housing market and stimulus payments that let consumers invest in their homes during pandemic restrictions. That binge has now begun to slow amid rising inflation and interest rates.

Does Team Leave Tool Time?

Posted on By Kartika

in 1991, Tim Allen had yet to become the household name behind the voice of Toy Story‘s Buzz Lightyear or Saint Nick himself in The Santa Clause. Then he was a standup comedian who had worked his way up to earn his own sitcom. when Home Improvements debuted on ABC on September 17, 1991, audiences immediately connected with the antics of Allen as Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, a Detroit area man with his own home improvement show called Tool Time. The series was about more than the guy who constantly accidentally destroyed something or hurt himself in his never-ending quest to give a machine “more power.” As the title implied, Home Improvements was just as much about his home life, with his wife Jill (Patricia Richardson) and their three sons.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS

So much for all the advantages the Maple Leafs brought in Game 1 against the Florida Panthers. Now it’s about getting even.

Extra rest, home ice, more power plays and the momentum from their first series win in 19 years all evaporated when the Cats disrupted their system and the Leafs couldn’t re-adjust in time during a 4-2 loss.

Wednesday was all about repair work, with almost the entire team reporting for an optional skater and coach Sheldon Keefe gathering with his staff in the video room.

As Game 1 progressed, he went back to the proven forward duo of Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, creating a killer trio skill with rookie Matthew Knies. But they’re not the most rugged Leafs and a prime target for Florida’s forecheck.

Keefe hinted they will stay together Thursday, meaning William Nylander will have to find his way
