Home Depot Inc Earnings Model (McPhee)​

Author: Al McPhee, Published: February 2, 2020 9:30pm, Category: Earnings Preview (Prior to the Fiscal 4Q2019 earnings release)

Summary of Model: ​I believe comp-store sales increase over the next period on the basis of two main factors. First, a bounce back from the lumber market deflation at the end of 2019 and should increase prices with strength. Secondly, with Black Friday deals and seamless online customer experience through a transition to a more digitalized platform that provides customers online sales services and BOPIS lockers will encourage customers to increase purchase volume and retain customers as regular purchasers. Another key externality I see effecting Home Depots' gross margins and comparable store sales is a strong housing market over the coming year. The 30-year bond has a stable outlook over 2020 will create an influx of people looking to invest and refurbish homes. The result is comparable store sales increase to 4.9% in 2019Q4 with 2019FY comparable sales at 3.5% and gross margin increasing to 34% 2019Q4 with the de-escalation of trade wars and the strengthing of the lumber market.
