10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Truist Securities analyst Scot Ciccarelli maintains Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $459 to $465.

Truist Securities Maintains Buy on Home Depot, Raises Price Target to $465

Home Depot Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) released its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41902698/home-depot-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-lifts-full-year-forecast-despite-customer-traffic-dip">third-quarter earnings report</a> Tuesday, posting revenue and EPS beats, aided by recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">bouts of extreme weather</a>. Analysts are still bullish on the Atlanta, Georgia-based company.
Home Depot Analysts: The following analysts published notes on Tuesday:
<ul>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Kate McShane reiterated a Buy rating for Home Depot, raising its price target from $384 to $410.</li>
<li>J.P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers reiterated an Overweight rating for Home Depot, raising its price target from $395 to $450.</li>
<li>BofA Securities analyst Robert F. Ohmes reiterated a Buy rating for Home Depot, raising its price target from $425 to $450.</li>
</ul>
Goldman Sachs Takeaways: McShane noted same-store sales growth implied an increase independent of Hurricanes Milton and Helene, but noted fourth-quarter guidance suggests a deceleration. The analyst remains bullish on the company and sees possible tailwinds from future cyclical trends.
&#8220;While housing turnover remains challenged, we think the company can benefit from an increase in consumers tapping into their home equity as interest rates come down in 2025 and from solid execution and share gains, especially with the complex pro,&#8221; McShane said.
&#8220;We think the company is positioned well for the long term as they continue to find efficiencies and cut costs which will drive operating income margin expansion when the company starts to grow the top line again,&#8221; the analyst added.
JPMorgan Takeaways: Horvers was also encouraged by Home Depot&#8217;s quarterly performance irrespective of hurricane tailwinds. The analyst believes future macroeconomic trends will benefit the company.
&#8220;This bending upward of sales trends is in-line with our view heading into this year (and our PCE math) that share of wallet headwinds are over and thus comp trends should migrate back toward wage growth of 3.5%-4% in 2025,&#8221; Horvers said.
The analyst remains focused on &#8220;do-it-yourself&#8221; performance in 2025 in a cyclical housing and improvement market.
BofA Securities Takeaways: Ohmes is also positive for the company.
&#8220;We see opportunities for HD to grow and gain share with the complex pro both organically and organically,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;Pro sales were positive in F3Q, and Pros engaging with elements of HD&#8217;s Pro Ecosystem (now in 17 U.S. markets) were the strongest performing Pros in the quarter.&#8221;
Ohmes raised 2025 earnings-per-share projections following earnings.
HD Price Action: Shares of Home Depot have been volatile Wednesday morning. The home improvement retailer is currently trading up 1.86% at $419.53.

What the Options Market Tells Us About Home Depot

Wall Street saw the first surge in risk aversion after Donald Trump's election victory last week, as concerns grew over potential tariffs and trade policy shifts spurred by the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41902202/trumps-china-hawks-rumored-for-top-roles-yuan-hits-3-month-low"> incoming administration's key appointments.</a>
Trump is reportedly considering Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for secretary of state and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) for national security advisor. Both are vocal hawks on China and NATO, raising concerns of a tougher U.S. stance that could strain key geopolitical and trade relationships.
Adding to the cautious sentiment, investors are bracing for Wednesday's key inflation data release, with economists forecasting the annual rate to hit 2.6% in October.
As of midday trading in New York, none of the major U.S. equity indices posted gains, while small caps underperformed, with the Russell 2000 down 1.5%. Ten out of 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors traded in the red, with consumer staples the only marking tiny gains.
Chinese stocks suffered steep declines, with major U.S.-listed companies falling between 5% and 9% as worries over potential tariffs spooked investors.
The dollar, viewed as a hedge against tariff risk, strengthened, with a currency-weighted index reaching its highest level since May 2024. 
The Japanese yen slipped past 154.7 per dollar, fully erasing gains from the Bank of Japan's August intervention, while the Chinese yuan and the euro also weakened, with the euro falling below $1.06.
Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year Treasury yield up eight basis points to 4.42%, pushing the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 1.2%.
The cryptocurrency market also faced pressure, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.6%. Gold dropped for a third straight day, weighed down by a stronger dollar and higher Treasury yields, as it struggled to attract safe-haven inflows.

Stocks Fall On Tariffs Fears, Dollar Hits 6-Month Peak, Yen Tumbles: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

J. P. Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers expressed views on Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) third-quarter earnings&nbsp;results reported today.
The company reported sales growth of 6.6% year-over-year to $40.217 billion, beating the consensus estimate of $39.173 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.78,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41902698/home-depot-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-lifts-full-year-forecast-despite-customer-traffic-dip" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of $3.64</a>.
Home Depot raised its FY24 sales guidance from $156.49 billion – $158.01 billion to $158.78 billion vs.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the $157.33 billion consensus</a>.
The company now expects Adjusted EPS of $15.10 (representing a decline of approximately&nbsp;1%&nbsp;from&nbsp;$15.25 in FY23) vs. the consensus of $14.84.&nbsp;
The analyst, with an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HD/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Overweight rating</a>, notes that the EPS forecast appears to be somewhat conservative.
Overall, Horvers says that there is still more to understand about the business&#8217; current state, but excluding the 50-basis-point hurricane boost, the U.S. business showed a decline of -1.7%, an improvement from the -3.4% in the first half of 2024.
The company is essentially aligning with Street expectations for a ~-2% decline in the fourth quarter, adds the analyst.
The analyst writes that while the extended outdoor season likely helped, the pace of deterioration should continue to slow into 2025, as the share-of-wallet headwind has eased and wages grow by 3.5%-4%, supporting baseline consumption in the category.
Therefore, the Street&#8217;s +2% comp forecast for 2025 seems reasonable, adds the analyst.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;iShares U.S. Consumer Focused ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEDI#BATS">IEDI</a>) and VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>).
Price Action: HD shares are down 0.44% at $406.51 at the last check Tuesday.

Home Depot's Earnings Beat Sets Conservative Tone for FY24, J.P. Morgan Predicts Slowing Deterioration Ahead

The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) is trading higher after posting strong earnings. The company reported $3.78 per share on revenues of $40.22 billion. Both of these were higher than estimates. Home Depot also said it is projecting comparable sales to fall by 2.5%, instead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41902698/home-depot-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-lifts-full-year-forecast-despite-customer-traffic-dip">previously anticipated 3% to 4%.</a>
In addition to these strong fundamentals, the stock may have just had a classic technical analysis buy signal. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
A simple moving average price is the average of recent closing prices. For example, a 20-day simple moving average is the average closing price of the prior 20 days. A 30-day simple moving average is the average closing price of the previous thirty days, and so on.

If the short-term moving average price of a stock is greater than a longer-term moving average price, there is a good chance the stock is in an uptrend. If a short-term moving average price is lower than a longer-term average price, there is a good chance the shares are moving lower.
Moving average crossover strategies are very common on Wall Street. They are entirely objective and easy to backtest.
With these strategies, a buy signal is given when a short-term moving average crosses above a longer-term average. If this action occurs, there is a good chance a new uptrend is forming.
A sell signal is generated if the short-term average price crosses below a longer-term one. If this happens, there is a good chance that a downtrend is forming.

On the Home Depot chart, the blue line is the 5-day moving average and the red line is the 12-day average. In August a buy signal was given when the shares were trading around $362. A sell signal was given in September when they were close to $368.
Then in mid-September, a buy signal was given around $373. On October 22, a sell signal was given when the stock was trading around the $400 level.
As you can see, a buy signal was given three days ago. The 5-day simple moving average has once again crossed above the 12-day. This could mean a new uptrend is in the process of forming.
