Can Home Depot rebuild?
HD
+23.06%
in

Filed under: Earnings reports, Bad news, Home Depot (HD), Stocks to Buy, Recession The homebuilding sector collapse has been longer and deeper than even the most pessimistic expected. Prices continue to fall and foreclosures keep rising. With so much supply on the market, the end does not seem near. The result of the carnage will be a change in behavior that always comes with crisis. The biggest trend I see happening will be with respect to new construction, or, shall we say, the lack thereof. <>Homebuilders are operating at historically low levels, meaning less supply on the market. But the ass...

Three Stocks That Look Cheap Here
HD
+13.43%

It would seem that I made a lot of people mad in previous articles, when I claimed that Apple (AAPL), Google (GOOG) and Qualcomm (QCOM) didn't deserve their current evaluations. Well, I decided to take a different approach this time, and list a few stocks that I thought were trading at a lower evaluation than they were currently worth. In the case of HD, this one might still require a few more months to start to rebound, but I am recommending getting into it now, as it will rebound so quickly when it does.

seeing that the lowes stock followed the Pre-RE boom and filling the empty RE houses the over all building plies, but the bulk building materials will not have the profits like they once did. I am not talking sales of lawn care & suplYes you could buy in for the holiday season as purchases may bump up but have an outlook to decline to the pre-RE boom. It might be good to get on this once they get close to the pre-RE boom, then if demand for new homes to be built goes up, but I don't think that demand will be as great as it once was. <> However once the RE sector is fixed and the...

Home Depot Continues to Impress on Dividends
HD
+0.15%
in
543 days
<>After the market closed on May 22, 2008, Home Depot (HD) announced that its board of directors declared a first quarter cash dividend of 22.5 cents per share. The dividend is payable on June 19 to shareholders of record on the close of business on June 5.
<>
This extends the string of flat dividends to seven dating back to the November 2006 dividend. Since 2004, HD has raised its dividend in the month of November (except November 2007). The flat dividend this quarter did not surprise me. I also expect the August 2008 dividend to remain flat at 22.5 cents. This is where it gets interesting.

I am going to take a gamble here and buy HD before the earnings report this week. I think with all the foreclosures out there, ther are some people who are buying materials to fix them up a bit. This should be helping home depot. This is a bit of a risk but, all in all Home Depot is still a great long term stock play. Good LUCK

Home Depot's Announcement a Good Move, But Maintaining Cautious Outlook; Reiterate Equal-Weight

5/1 - "We do not believe this is enough to turn the earnings estimate dial, which should continue to be dominated by macro inputs. One could argue a $0.05 per share benefit by 2010 - all else equal...Today’s announcement nets a cash cost of $100m on a total charge of $586m, with an interesting payback implication: The $12m per store in closing costs is a reminder that real estate can be a liability, not just an asset. Fortunately the cash costs work out to a more modest $1.5m a site."

5/2 - "D-I-Y retailer Home Depot (NYSE: HD) has only gotten it half right with its plan to halt expansion and close underperforming stores. The other part that seems wrong is that it still plans on paying out dividends and doing share buybacks. That might set the retailer up for even more failure."
"With a much larger store footprint than rival Lowe's (NYSE: LOW), it can afford to stop the planned development of the 50 or so stores it had in its new store pipeline. It has 2,258 stores to Lowe's 1,500. Taking a breather to allow the economy to catch up is a smart move...Had Home Depot used ...

"Home Depot said its total capital spending for the current fiscal year is still projected to be about $2.3 billion, down from $3.6 billion last year.
HD is making the right moves and if Wall Street is 6 months ahead of the game, then Home Depot shares will being to recover. Place your bets."
