The headline revenue decline was largely a calendar artifact, as the prior-year quarter spanned 14 weeks versus 13 this period, adding roughly $2.50 billion in sales to the year-ago comparison. Underneath that headwind, comparable sales rose 0.4%, signaling modest underlying demand improvement even as high mortgage rates and a sluggish housing market continue to weigh on big-ticket discretionary projects. Professional customer demand and rising big-ticket transaction values provided some offset. Looking ahead, Home Depot guided fiscal 2026 total sales growth of 2.5% to 4.5% and comparable sales growth of flat to 2.0%, with adjusted operating margin expected between 12.8% and 13.0%, as the company continues integrating SRS Distribution and rebuilding leverage on its cost structure.

Key Takeaways

  • Comparable sales increased 0.4% in Q4 and 0.3% for fiscal 2025
  • U.S. comparable sales increased 0.3% in Q4 and 0.5% for fiscal 2025
