The home reno space has been in a slump, because people have been travelling and enjoying experiences. During Covid, they stayed home and renovated, which she feels will return, because there isn't enough housing to buy. So, people will stay in their homes and fix them up. Lower material costs will help. HD and Sherwin Williams are buys now.

Gordon ReidPremium contentStockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly SHW is well positioned for the home improvement trend underway during the pandemic. Recent earnings reported a 28% increase in EPS and cash increased by over 40% to over $1 billion compared to last year. There was a slight slow down in their performance coatings division due to the pandemic, but consumer brands were up 21% in sales. The company guidance has increased its second half EPS outlook by 14%. We also like that the dividend payout ratio of less than 30% means safety in the dividend going forward. Yield 0.85%
Gordon Reid(A Top Pick Apr 22/19, Up 25%) Like Home Depot, this is a win-win, whether people stay hope and renovate, or if they move houses (which he predicts). SHW will benefit from either trend.

The biggest paint and wallcovering company in the US. The stock has moved significantly, much more so than earnings. This is one where you want to wait for the price to come down or for earnings to go up.
