Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly HD reported earnings today and it met all benchmarks. The stock is retracing a bit -- perhaps selling on fact -- as many stocks have been doing lately. We like the continuation of do-it-yourself projects during the pandemic. Speaking from recent personal experience, many of their products are hard to find on the shelves. EPS of $4.02 beat expectations by $0.34 per share. The yield is attractive and with a payout of only 55% of cash flow, could be well positioned for another increase -- as it has done for the past 11 years. We would look for a pullback to $265 to buy on weakness. Yield 2.08%

TOP PICK
Long been a favourite pick. They've grown their dividend growing 25%/year over the last 5 years. Are growing same-store sales 2x the rate of GDP. Consumers have some cash to spend near-term, thanks to stimulus. Also, people can't travel, but are doing home improvements. Some weakness in selling to professional contractors, but home consumers have made up for that likely at a higher margin. (Analysts’ price target is $257.25)

WEAK BUY
A rise in home spending to come HD has run back up, because people have discretionary income they're not spending on restaurants and clothes, because they're stuck at home. He's owned this before. 1980-2007, HD was expanding locations, but since 2009 they have added few. Instead, they are selling higher-margin profits to boost revenues, but the growth rate in this has slowed. That's why he sold.

BUY
People, if they stay home, will renovate. Or if the home-buying market improves (which he expects sooner than later), HD will also benefit. He's a long time holder of HD and happy.

TOP PICK
One of the largest home improvement dealers and a play on the health of the US housing market and low interest rates. Household formation is still increasing and there will always be a need for home repairs. Yield 2.22% (Analysts’ price target is $240.59)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 06/19, Up 30%) They've become much more efficient in managing their stores, yet the number of stores remains the same. Operating profit has jumped 11% to 16%. Net profit doubled. Last year's initiatives dampened earnings a bit, but will pay off in 2021.

Also a past pick. US housing starts hit a 15-year high, a huge tailwind. (Analysts’ price target is $233.67)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 07/19, Up 27%) They are continuing to grow. He thinks we are seeing very solid growth as the US housing market continues to boom.

TOP PICK
He is sticking with it. Last year in a period of uncertainty he was certain the housing industry was going to move up and believes it will do so again. Their profit was hit in the short term but it will inflect later, in 2021. He thinks there is good upside in the stock. (Analysts’ price target is $232.17)

TOP PICK
She has been adding to their existing position over the past couple of weeks. The company has been investing in their stores and infrastructure to improve on delivery times. A very good operator, who is investing in their future. Earnings will grow again next year, although a little slower. Yield 2.57% (Analysts’ price target is $232.23)

BUY ON WEAKNESS
This has been an investment for him for many years. They grow sales faster than GDP growth and dividend growth is 25% a year. Not a big dividend however. He likes home builders and the suppliers to home builders. A leading stock in a leading sector, he thinks. A healthy pullback, that he would buy into.
