Home Depot Posts Strong Fiscal 2025 Numbers Despite Market Uncertainty
Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) has reported its fiscal 2025 numbers, showing strong sales and earnings growth despite uneven consumer spending and big-ticket renovation demand.
The company's annual report reveals $159.5 billion in sales, a 0.8% increase in comparable sales for the year, and a 1.0% uptick in comparable sales in the U.S. during the fourth quarter.
Net earnings reached $14.8 billion, with diluted earnings per share coming to $14.95. Home Depot also generated $7.6 billion in operating cash flow and $5.5 billion in free cash flow for the year.
The company's gross margin stood at 33.4%, while its operating margin was 13.8%. These figures frame the main investor question: whether Home Depot can maintain margins near this level despite the uncertain market conditions.
