On October 9, Home Depot rose 3.11% in regular trading, trading at $295.21/share, with turnover of $840 million. The move follows the company's previously reported fiscal 2026 second-quarter results that beat market expectations, as adjusted EPS of $4.92 exceeded the FactSet consensus of $4.73 and net sales of $47.86 billion grew 5.7% year over year. Management also reaffirmed full-year guidance, while noting tariff refunds would partially offset higher fuel and input costs.

In addition, Home Depot announced the nationwide launch of a three-hour express delivery service covering more than 2,000 US stores, offering same-day fulfillment for a flat fee without requiring a subscription or membership. The company also expanded its Magic Apron AI shopping assistant to include localized store knowledge across its store base, further strengthening its omnichannel and customer engagement capabilities.
