About Home Depot, INC.

The Home Depot, Inc. (ticker: HD) is a leading global home-improvement retailer listed on the NYSE in the United States. Founded in 1978 by Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, the company opened its first two stores in Atlanta in 1979 and remains headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Its business model is built around the “one-stop shop” concept for home repair, renovation, and maintenance, supported by a broad merchandise offering, an aggressive value proposition, and an increasingly integrated omnichannel experience. ([corporate.homedepot.com](https://corporate.homedepot.com/page/about-us?utm_source=openai)) Operationally, Home Depot serves both do-it-yourself consumers and professional customers, with the Pro segment now a key strategic focus. The assortment spans building materials, tools, hardware, plumbing, electrical, flooring, paint, kitchen and bath, garden, décor, and seasonal merchandise. The company also offers adjacent services such as delivery, installation, tool rental, and loyalty and business solutions designed for professional contractors. ([corporate.homedepot.com](https://corporate.homedepot.com/node/326?utm_source=openai)) Home Depot is the largest home-improvement retailer in the United States and one of the most important players globally in the category. Its competitive edge comes from scale, merchandising depth, logistics capabilities, brand strength, and its ability to capture recurring maintenance, repair, and remodeling spend, which is often more resilient than discretionary consumption. Management has increasingly leaned into the professional customer base to offset cyclical pressure in the U.S. housing market. ([corporate.homedepot.com](https://corporate.homedepot.com/node/326?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, the company remains heavily North America-focused. According to its fiscal 2024 annual report, Home Depot operated more than 2,300 stores across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with the overwhelming majority located in the U.S. The company also expanded its specialty distribution footprint through SRS Distribution, increasing exposure to roofing, landscaping, and pool-supply contractors and broadening its addressable market in the Pro channel.

The company said it intended to keep pricing broadly stable across most of its assortment, though some categories could see modest increases. In February 2026, Home Depot reported fourth-quarter and fiscal 2025 results, raised its quarterly dividend, and issued fiscal 2026 guidance, reinforcing a message of capital discipline, market-share focus, and operational execution.
