💰 How The Home Depot Inc. Makes Money

Sell building materials, tools, appliances, and home improvement products through massive warehouse-format stores. The Pro segment is where the margin expansion lives — larger ticket sizes, repeat purchases, and delivery logistics. E-commerce has grown to about 15% of sales, with most orders fulfilled through stores.

📜 Key Milestones

Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank founded Home Depot in 1978 after being fired from Handy Dan. The first stores opened in Atlanta in 1979. The company grew from zero to $100 billion in revenue faster than almost any retailer in history. The $18 billion acquisition of SRS Distribution in 2024 was its largest deal ever, deepening the Pro strategy.

💡 Did You Know?

Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus was an early backer of the Georgia Aquarium, donating $250 million to build it. The company's stores are intentionally designed to feel slightly chaotic — the warehouse aesthetic is a deliberate strategy to signal low prices. Home Depot has returned more cash to shareholders through buybacks than most companies are worth.

📝 Analyst Take

Housing turnover is depressed by high mortgage rates, but Home Depot's Pro pivot is the right long-term play. When rates eventually come down, this stock will rip — it's a coiled spring.
