Home Depot delivered in-line Q1 results with total sales up 4.8% to $41.8 billion, though organic comp sales grew just 0.6% as the GMS acquisition drove the bulk of headline growth. GMS acquisition mix diluted gross margin by approximately 75 basis points, pulling adjusted EPS down 3.7% to $3.43, while the core business maintained stable margins. Pro customers continued to outperform DIY with complex purchase occasions posting the highest comp growth, and digital platforms delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of over 10% online sales growth. Management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 guidance of flat to 2% comps amid persistent housing affordability headwinds and elevated mortgage rates.
