According to the company's most recent 13F filing with the SEC, Mirae Asset purchased an additional 132,417 shares of HD stock.

The firm now owns approximately 673,912 shares of Home Depot's stock, which is worth around $237,675,000 at the end of the quarter. This represents about 0.07% of Home Depot's outstanding shares.

Other institutional investors have also been buying and selling HD shares in recent quarters. For example, Curio Wealth LLC increased its position in Home Depot by 13.5% in the fourth quarter, while Alesco Advisors LLC raised its stake in HD by 3.2% during the same period.

Despite some cautionary views from analysts, who warn that second-quarter results may show little evidence of a recovery due to high interest rates and weak housing activity, Home Depot's long record of dividend payments and large scale may provide support for income-focused investors.
