Home Depot opened its fiscal first-quarter 2026 reporting before the bell on May 19 with net sales rising approximately 4.4% year-on-year to $41.6 billion against a Wall Street consensus, while diluted earnings per share fell 4.2% to roughly $3.41 as elevated U.S. mortgage rates continued to weigh on big-ticket discretionary remodelling and shifted the comp-store mix toward the contractor-driven Pro segment, which outperformed the do-it-yourself customer for a second consecutive quarter.
