Analysts have been raising earnings estimates for Home Depot (HD) for this year and next. The stock is trading at 21 times earnings. Moreover, its free cash flow was up 80% YoY in the first half. The stock is now attractive to value buyers at $319.73 per share on Monday morning trading on Sept. 18.
I discussed these points in my Barchart article on Aug. 15 after it released its results for the quarter ending July 30: “Home Depot Beats Expectations and Free Cash Flow Surges, Making HD a Value Play.”
