HD Gross Margin Analysis

Gross margin is the share of revenue a company keeps after paying direct production costs; at 33.0%, Home Depot retains $0.33 for every dollar of sales.

That figure sits below the sector median of 46.4%, placing the company in the 27th percentile among peers, meaning most competitors have a higher margin. The trend is not available: the year-over-year change is N/A and the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, so no direction can be assessed. A margin well below peers combined with no trend data leaves unclear whether this gap is narrowing or widening, which raises uncertainty about future profitability. The low relative level and missing trajectory add risk, since there is no evidence of improving cost control or pricing power. This contradicts any optimistic outlook and directly supports the overall CAUTIOUS verdict on the stock.
